                           DEMOCRATIC AGENDA

  (Mr. Lieu asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. LIEU. Madam Speaker, in the first 15 months of the Joe Biden 
Presidency, over 8.3 million jobs were created, the most in U.S. 
history.

  For the last 6 weeks, because of the relentless efforts of the White 
House and of Joe Biden to reduce gas prices, those gas prices have 
fallen every day for 6 weeks. That is because Democrats are focused on 
putting people over politics, and we want to lower costs, have better 
paying jobs, and safer communities.
  What are Republicans focused on?
  They want to end Social Security; they are attacking our democracy; 
and they want to criminalize women's healthcare decisions.
  In fact, just last week, House Republicans voted ``no'' on providing 
access to birth control pills. Let me just repeat that again. We are in 
the 21st century, and House Republicans want government to ban birth 
control pills.
