                        THE ECONOMY IS SHRINKING

  (Mr. KELLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KELLER. Madam Speaker, the economy shrank for the second quarter 
in a row. Americans are now facing a recession that was totally 
avoidable but brought on by President Biden and

Washington Democrats' Big Government spending and war on American 
energy.
  Proving just how out of touch President Biden is, he shrugged off 
talk of a recession and said Americans are just facing an economic 
transition.
  This administration has spent more time trying to convince Americans 
we are not in a recession than actually working on the problem.
  Americans are hurting right now, and as the price of gas and 
groceries continues to rise, Washington Democrats are preparing 
legislation in Congress that will raise taxes on farmers, businesses, 
and working families.
  The Democrat elite don't live in the real world, and they continue to 
put the priorities of their radical agenda over working American 
families--the same people they profess to help.
  Our economy is shrinking, and Big Government spending is growing.
  Americans cannot afford Washington Democrats' far-left agenda.
