                      BIDEN ELECTRICITY COST SURGE

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, American families are 
paying the highest electricity prices in over 40 years with a 16 
percent increase from a year ago. Additionally, natural gas prices to 
heat homes are up 30 percent as winter nears due to the extremist Biden 
energy failing policies.
  According to a HelpAdvisor survey in the last year, a quarter of 
Americans reduced food and medicine so they could pay the energy bill. 
Unfortunately, one in six people, more than 20 million households, are 
behind on utility bills and in danger of losing utility services. The 
Energy Information Administration anticipates an additional increase 
this year.
  The policies of Biden and Democrats are responsible for high utility 
costs and destroying jobs.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, who successfully protected 
America for 20 years, as the global war on terrorism continues moving 
from a safe haven in Afghanistan to America. With the open Biden border 
for terrorists, American families today are at a greater risk of mass 
murder than ever before.
