                      FAILING DEMOCRATIC POLICIES

  (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, as a result of failing 
policies by Biden and the Democrat-led Congress, American families 
continue to feel the impact of 40-year-high inflation in their 
pocketbooks. Last year, the cost of everyday products and services rose 
exponentially, destroying jobs.
  Since Biden took office, there has been a $10 trillion increase in 
spending above projections, $2.5 million increase on interest payments 
on growing Federal debt, $1.9 trillion on the American Rescue Plan, 
$745 billion on the inflation expansion act, $3.4 trillion on the 
infrastructure investment act, and $1 trillion in Biden executive 
actions.
  This irresponsible spending has hurt all Americans, and we must 
address it. The newly elected House Republican majority, ably led by 
Speaker Kevin McCarthy, is committed to creating jobs and a government 
that is accountable to the people. We must reestablish 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.

  Just yesterday, another terrorist was caught crossing the southern 
border.
