                     RETURNING TO FISCAL CONSTRAINT

  (Mr. JOYCE of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOYCE of Ohio. Madam Speaker, the inflation crisis that is being 
caused by President Biden's destructive policies has hurt small 
businesses throughout the United States.
  According to a recent survey, 37 percent of small business owners 
were unable to pay their rent just last month alone.

  These businesses are struggling because of Joe Biden's decision to 
put socialist priorities ahead of working Americans. Instead of 
supporting businesses and improving supply chains, he paid workers to 
stay home. Instead of returning to American energy dominance, he turned 
to Green New Deal policies. Instead of fighting inflation, Joe Biden 
proudly wasted trillions of dollars and sent prices skyrocketing.
  More than 60 million Americans are employed by small businesses, and 
they are being crushed by these radical policies. It is time to return 
to fiscal constraint; it is time to stop the reckless spending; and it 
is time to once again support our great American small businesses.
