                     BIDEN'S INFLATION CATASTROPHE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. Bonamici). The Chair recognizes the 
gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Foxx) for 5 minutes.
  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, you don't need to be an economics guru to 
understand that President Biden's inflation catastrophe continues to 
kneecap our country.
  But if you ask the President, the White House press secretary, or 
anyone in the administration, for that matter, they would tell you that 
the United States is ``stronger economically'' than ever.
  How dense does one have to be to claim that, unless this 
administration is trying to cover up its ultimate end goal of turning 
the United States into Venezuela by taking on so much debt that we 
implode? That doesn't seem farfetched in the slightest.
  Madam Speaker, inflation is the pickpocket that Americans run into 
every day, from the gas pump to the grocery store, and it is only 
growing worse.
  Since the administration and the President haven't figured this out 
yet, let me put this in terms that they understand: 9.1 percent. End of 
quote. Repeat the line. 9.1 percent. 9.1 percent.


   A Woman's Health Decisions End When the Life of an Unborn Becomes 
                                Involved

  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, our colleagues keep talking about the issue 
of women's health and women's reproductive freedom.
  In ``The Merchant of Venice,'' Shylock thought he had won a great 
victory when he thought he was going to get his pound of flesh. But 
Portia, the attorney, said to the judge: You may have your pound of 
flesh but not one drop of blood. I think that is a good analogy for 
what our colleagues are saying.
  No one is opposed to women protecting their health. But those of us 
in the pro-life movement are concerned about when that woman's health 
decision destroys an unborn life. So, a woman's health decisions end 
when the life of an unborn becomes involved.
