                THE SKYROCKETING COST OF EVERYDAY GOODS

  (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. Madam Speaker, this Christmas, Americans 
are facing hard choices about the gifts they can afford to buy their 
friends and their loved ones.
  The skyrocketing cost of everyday goods and services will now cost 
American families over $700 each month.
  According to a survey published by the Associated Press, one in three 
Americans are now reported to be falling behind on their bills and 
expenses.
  It is now more clear than ever that American families cannot afford 
President Biden's failed policies.
  Reversing this inflation will only happen when we stop the tax-and-
spend spree that the liberals in this body have championed.
  American families will only be financially secure when President 
Biden stops wasting money and wasting taxpayer dollars.
  We need to return to fiscal restraint and responsibility. We need to 
stop spending money that we do not have on policies that we do not 
need.
