                 SURGING INFLATION DEVASTATES FAMILIES

  (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, on Friday, I completed 
an annual districtwide legislative agenda media tour. The issue of 
greatest concern was inflation affecting everyday people and gas up 61 
percent.
  Bidenflation has surged to a 40-year high. It is clear that $4.5 
trillion spending bills devastate pocketbooks. Even a recent analysis 
from the Federal Reserve of San Francisco agrees that the relief 
package has impacted inflation.
  Sadly, only 17 percent of workers have received raises that have kept 
up with inflation, according to the Democrat New York Times.
  The Democrat elite think they are smarter than everyone and think 
Democrat voters and Democrat media are ignorant to believe that 
trillion-dollar spending bills cost zero dollars.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, who successfully protected 
America for 20 years in the global war on terrorism, as it continues 
moving from the Afghanistan safe haven to America.
  Congratulations to Congressman  Mike Waltz and Dr. Julia Nesheiwat on 
the birth on January 7 of Arman ``Armie'' Waltz.
