               AMERICAN HOUSEHOLDS BURDENED BY INFLATION

  (Mr. KELLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KELLER. Mr. Speaker, thanks to President Biden's disastrous tax-
and-spend policies, the American people are now facing the highest 
levels of inflation in more than 40 years. Americans have seen the 
effects of inflation in their paychecks, at the gas pumps, and in the 
grocery stores ever since Joe Biden took office.
  The latest Bloomberg report concludes that the average U.S. household 
will have to earn an extra $5,000 this year just to keep up with 
inflation.
  Instead of scaling back wasteful government spending, the President's 
budget calls for the highest sustained spending and taxes in American 
history. Fanning the flames of inflation with more reckless spending 
only makes it harder for American families to afford essentials.
  Instead, Congress must work to eliminate waste and enable Americans 
to reclaim control of their money and their lives.
