DEMOCRATS SIMPLY DID NOT LISTEN
(Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, our country is in an inflation crisis caused
by the Biden administration's failed leftwing, progressive policies.
We have families who can't find baby formula for their newborns,
grocery stores with empty shelves, workers filling up their gas tanks
for twice what they paid 2 years ago, and farmers paying triple for
fertilizer compared to two harvests ago.
H.R. 7606, the bill that passed the House last week, will do nothing
to combat these crises in the immediate future. Instead, Congress
should consider a bill introduced by the gentleman from Pennsylvania
(Mr. Thompson), my friend and ranking member of the House Agriculture
Committee.
H.R. 8069, the Reducing Farm Input Costs and Barriers to Production
Act, will work to immediately combat rising food and fuel costs and has
the support from our farmers, ranchers, and producers.
However, once again, Democrats passed a bill that doesn't fix our
problems, nor does it increase our domestic food or fuel production,
and they blame everything on Republicans. Let the record show we
offered real solutions, and Democrats simply did not listen.
