PRESIDENT BIDEN'S ENERGY CRISIS
(Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, President Biden's energy crisis is the
Christmas gift that nobody asked for.
The national average for a gallon of gas reached $3.39 as of last
Friday, the most Americans have paid at the pump since the Obama-Biden
administration.
Home heating costs are projected to rise as much as 54 percent for
some households this winter. House Democrats are even pushing a ``heat
your home tax'' just in time for the holidays.
If Americans thought Thanksgiving cost an arm and a leg, just wait
until President Biden's failed policies torpedo Christmas entirely. At
this rate, the only things Americans will find under their Christmas
trees and in their stockings are more bills, not presents.
Mr. Speaker, this lunacy must end.
