                            RISING INFLATION

  (Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, this morning, we received 
data that highlights once again the failure of the Biden administration 
to provide for our economy and to provide for the economic well-being 
of America.
  At home in Pennsylvania, I have heard stories of parents unable to 
afford back-to-school clothes and supplies for their children and 
patients unable to afford the gas to put in their cars to drive to 
doctors' appointments.
  These problems are fruits from the same poisonous tree. Reckless 
government spending has sent prices skyrocketing across our economy.

of addressing this cost, liberals continue to double down by passing 
their so-called Inflation Reduction Act while the Congressional Budget 
Office now reports that this act will increase our deficit through 
2026.
  The fact is simple. President Biden has proven that he is unable to 
stop the runaway inflation that has raised the cost of housing, raised 
the cost of groceries, and continues to affect energy sources 
throughout America. The answer to this crisis will not be found in more 
government handouts.
  Now more than ever, we need to stop the inflation that is crippling 
our economy and hurting Pennsylvania and all American families.
