 BIDEN ADMINISTRATION'S PR STUNT TO TOUR SMALL BUSINESS ACCOMPLISHMENTS

  (Mr. WILLIAMS of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. WILLIAMS of Texas. Mr. Speaker, this week, the Vice President 
traveled to North Carolina to tout the Biden administration's so-called 
accomplishments in helping our Nation's small businesses.
  Well, the American people can see through the Vice President's PR 
stunt and know sky-high inflation, worker shortages, and supply chain 
disruptions are nothing to celebrate.
  I have been a small business owner for 52 years and still am, and I 
know these economic headwinds job creators are facing firsthand.
  The reality is small businesses are worse off due to this 
administration's disastrous policies and out-of-control Washington 
spending.
  As the chairman of the Small Businesses Committee, I welcome anyone 
who wants to celebrate entrepreneurship and recognize our great small 
businesses.
  However, no amount of media events will change the dire reality Main 
Street continues to experience under

this administration's 2-year crackdown on job creators.
  More needs to be done to unleash the full potential of Main Street, 
and the direction must change before anyone goes on a victory lap or 
asks for a trophy.
  In God We Trust.
