                       END INFLATIONARY SPENDING

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Madam Speaker, inflation is at the highest rate it has been 
since 1981. Meanwhile, Congressional Democrats are spending this week 
passing a funding bill full of liberal initiatives that will fan the 
flames of the already red-hot inflation Tennesseans are facing due to 
Democrats' reckless spending.
  When will enough be enough?
  Madam Speaker, Democrats' socialist spending spree includes an 
overall 14 percent increase in domestic funding, a 20 percent increase 
to the Environmental Protection Agency, and a 10 percent increase to 
the FDA, the same department that failed to quickly address the baby 
formula shortage when we all knew it was coming.
  Borrowing more money from China, throwing it out the door and forcing 
our grandchildren to pay it back only creates more problems, not solve 
them. We need to return to our commonsense roots and end this 
inflationary spending now.
  I urge my colleagues to join me in voting ``no.''
