BIDENFLATION
(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. Mr. Speaker, costs for everyday
products and services continue to rise, and American families are
suffering. Gas costs have doubled under Biden, reaching the highest
level ever for the price of gas today.
In the last year we have all experienced price increases for everyday
items, including: eggs up 22 percent, chicken up 16 percent, bacon up
17 percent, milk up 14 percent, roasted coffee up 14 percent, and
breakfast cereal up 12 percent.
It is not uncommon for a can of soup on the shelf to be marked at 65
cents, but at checkout, it registers $1. A Dollar Store had all
merchandise for $1 until Valentine's Day, but now all merchandise is
$1.25.
Due to policies pushed by Biden and Democrats, everyday families are
left to suffer the effects. America should resume the Trump policies of
all-of-the-above energy.
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.
