                 LOWERING COSTS FOR AMERICA'S FAMILIES

  (Ms. GARCIA of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the House 
Democrats' efforts to lower rising costs that threaten and burden our 
American families.
  Putin's cruel war in Ukraine is rising prices across our Nation and 
the world, but Democrats are taking decisive action.
  Last week, we passed the Lower Food and Fuel Costs Act. This bill 
will reduce our dependence on foreign fertilizer production, strengthen 
competition in the meat and poultry sector, and strengthen our supply 
chain.
  It will also expand access to cleaner Unleaded 88 gas that costs an 
average of 40 cents less per gallon. These steps for Democrats will go 
a long way, Mr. Speaker, to protect American families from Putin's 
inflation.
  Yet, some extreme MAGA Republicans continue to side with greedy 
corporations and billionaires instead of hardworking families.
  I call on our Republican colleagues to work with us in our efforts to 
lower costs for all families across America. The time to act is now.
