                       RETURN TO FISCAL RESTRAINT

  (Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, last week, a report from 
Moody's found that the average American is now spending an extra $460 a 
month on everyday items like gas and groceries. Because of this 
staggering inflation caused by President Biden's failed policies, the 
average American family is being impacted.
  The burden of this out-of-control inflation has fallen on working 
families, who can least afford to pay for the skyrocketing price of 
goods.
  Now, instead of addressing the root causes of inflation, President 
Biden and Vice President Harris are once again championing their build 
back broken agenda, an agenda that would pour gasoline on a fire that 
is already far out of control.
  Americans cannot afford this reckless spending, and we cannot afford 
to allow radical socialist policies to further destroy our Nation's 
economy.
  It is time to return to fiscal restraint. It is time to stop spending 
money that we don't have. It is time to stop spending money on things 
that we do not need.
