                          BIDEN ENERGY CRISIS

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, incredibly, President 
Biden said Tuesday: ``We're making progress.'' And ``American people 
are paying their fair share for gas.''
  However, the reality is Americans are paying 61 percent more for gas, 
and home heating oil costs will jump 54 percent.
  The disastrous Biden agenda has put America in an energy crisis. He 
killed the Keystone pipeline with 11,000 jobs lost. And executive 
orders have paused new oil and gas leasing, costing over 1 million 
jobs. Annual Biden inflation is the highest in 40 years, destroying 
jobs.
  The Democrat elite think they are better than everyone, and they 
believe Democrat voters and Democrat media are ignorant to accept $4.5 
trillion ``costs zero dollars.''
  In conclusion, God bless our troops who have successfully protected 
America for 20 years, as the global war on terrorism now is moving from 
the Afghanistan safe haven to America.
  Congratulations, Norma and John Jett and Roxanne Wilson on their new 
grandson born yesterday, Hunter Taylor Wilson, Jr., of West Columbia, 
South Carolina.
