                         RESTORING OUR ECONOMY

  (Mr. PAYNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAYNE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to praise President Biden for 
his work to restore our economy. The COVID-19 pandemic caused economic 
issues that few experts could have predicted. It needed strong 
leadership to help our Nation recover.
  Thanks to President Biden's leadership, inflation has come down for 
six straight months, gasoline prices are down almost $2 in a few 
months, and the cost of goods are falling nationwide. These actions are 
saving millions of dollars for hardworking American families across the 
country.
  In addition, President Biden's leadership has led to increased wages, 
11 million new jobs, and the lowest unemployment in 50 years. Clearly, 
President Biden's economic policies are working, and we are lucky to 
have him in the White House.
