         AMERICANS ARE EXPERIENCING INFLATION AT A 40-YEAR HIGH

  (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. Mr. Speaker, last week, families across 
America sat down to enjoy Thanksgiving meals. Unfortunately, this week, 
as a result of irresponsible policies of Biden and Democrats, families 
are paying massive costs.
  Americans are experiencing inflation at a 40-year high with families 
in South Carolina paying nearly 15 percent more for goods and services 
in the last year.
  Average national costs have increased. Turkey is up 21 percent. Pie 
crusts and whipping cream are up 26 percent. Dinner rolls are up 22 
percent. Milk is up 16 percent.
  According to the recent Morning Consult poll, 41 percent of 
Thanksgiving shoppers were planning to cut side dishes to save money.
  Our country is in a crisis, and Americans need relief, which is why 
voters elected a House Republican majority. Republicans will fight 
inflation with fiscal sanity.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops who successfully protected 
America for 20 years, as the global war on terrorism continues moving 
from the Afghanistan safe haven to America.
