                      BIDENFLATION BY THE NUMBERS

  (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, since Biden has been in 
office, his irresponsible decisions, supported by the Democrat-led 
Congress, have left American families in financial stress.
  Inflation, at a 40-year high, has increased the cost of everyday 
items. We have destruction of jobs. These policies have cost the 
typical household $10,000. Additionally, year-to-year wage growth has 
been negative for 22 months.
  Bidenflation is a tax on all Americans. At an inflation rate of 6.4 
percent in January, we have an outrageous situation with rising prices. 
Eggs are up an astronomical 70 percent, butter up 33 percent, fuel oil 
up 28 percent, flour up 28 percent, lettuce up 17 percent, bread up 15 
percent, and milk up 11 percent.
  The newly elected House Republican majority, led by Speaker Kevin 
McCarthy, is committed to fighting inflation, lowering the cost of 
living, and creating jobs.
  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.
