                           STOP THE SPENDING

  (Mr. BERGMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, I have spoken before about President 
Biden's and House Democrats' flawed economic record. I continue to hear 
from constituents from across Michigan's First District who feel cast 
aside by the policies of this administration.
  Inflation has hit a high of 8.6 percent, and this President continues 
to blame everyone but himself. High inflation isn't an act of God. High 
inflation isn't solely an act of the Federal Reserve. High inflation 
certainly isn't an act of Putin, either.
  President Biden said the buck stops with him, but maybe he has 
changed his mind. Don't be deceived; his stated plan to address 
inflation is a farce.
  The President and his advisers told the American people inflation was 
transitory, all while passing trillions in new spending. Instead of 
taking responsibility, this President continues to push tax-and-spend 
legislation that worsens inflation while leaving working families to 
pick up the tab.
  I am asking the President and my colleagues to listen to the American 
people, stop the spending, and confront inflation head-on.
