                BIDEN ADMINISTRATION INSISTS ALL IS WELL

  (Mr. MOORE of Alabama asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. MOORE of Alabama. Madam Speaker, when it comes to the economy, 
the Biden administration continues to insist that all is well. His 
press secretary claims the economy is in a better place than it has 
been historically.

  Historically? Perhaps she needs to read a history book. Inflation is 
at a 40-year high in this country. President Biden himself makes the 
false claim that inflation is worse elsewhere in the world than here.
  Mr. President, the United States has worse inflation than Germany, 
France, Japan, Canada, India, Italy, Saudi Arabia, and the list goes 
on. What is this explanation?
  The Biden administration blames the pandemic and Putin, but each of 
those countries has also had to deal with the same problems we have 
dealt with. Why is their inflation not like ours?
  Mr. President, the answer is easy: Quit overheating the economy with 
government spending. Cut red tape and regulations hampering our 
industries. Let the American people keep more of their hard-earned 
money.
  Conservatives once warned against our economy turning into Europe. 
Unless we change course, Europe will be worried about becoming us.
