    REDUCE EXACERBATED INFLATION NEGATIVELY IMPACTING THE NATION ACT

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Perry). Pursuant to House Resolution 166 
and rule XVIII, the Chair declares the House in the Committee of the 
Whole House on the state of the Union for further consideration of the 
bill, H.R. 347.
  Will the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Babin) kindly take the chair.

                              {time}  0911


                     In the Committee of the Whole

  Accordingly, the House resolved itself into the Committee of the 
Whole House on the state of the Union for the further consideration of 
the bill (H.R. 347) to require the Executive Office of the President to 
provide an inflation estimate with respect to Executive orders with a 
significant effect on the annual gross budget, and for other purposes, 
with Mr. Babin (Acting Chair) in the chair.
  The Clerk read the title of the bill.
  The Acting CHAIR. When the Committee of the Whole rose on Tuesday, 
February 28, 2023, amendment No. 10 printed in House Report 118-4 
offered by the gentleman from New York (Mr. Langworthy) had been 
disposed of.


                  amendment no. 11 offered by ms. omar

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 11 
printed in House Report 118-4.
  Ms. OMAR. Mr. Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Page 2, line 14, after the period, insert the following: 
     ``In estimating the inflationary effects of any major

     subsection (d).''.
       Page 3, after line 2, insert the following:
       (d) Factors.--The factors described in this subsection are 
     the following:
       (1) Benefits.--With respect to benefits provided by the

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 166, the gentlewoman 
from Minnesota (Ms. Omar) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Minnesota.
  Ms. OMAR. Mr. Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Chair, I rise today to call on Congress to take up economic 
measurement tools that will uplift all Americans.
  My amendment would add factors from the genuine progress indicator to 
register budgetary reporting. GPI would supplement the information we 
get from traditional measures like GDP, which mainly emphasizes growth 
for its own sake.
  GPI would provide a more accurate and inclusive assessment of 
economic well-being. It evaluates the positive and negative factors of 
economic activity ranging from the benefits of infrastructure and 
workforce development to the process costs of income inequality and 
pollution on our collective well-being.
  It would give us the chance to finally account for important but 
overlooked aspects of society such as wealth distribution, economic 
sustainability, and the overall quality of life for everyday Americans.
  We must recognize that collective prosperity is only attainable if we 
identify the gaps and barriers preventing our most vulnerable 
communities from thriving.
  My amendment simply seeks to give lawmakers more comprehensive data 
so that we can make more informed policy decisions.
  Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to vote for this amendment in order 
to focus our policy lens on the lives of working and poor families in 
America.
  Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.

                              {time}  0915

  Mr. COMER. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Kentucky is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. COMER. Mr. Chairman, my colleague's amendment, unlike some others 
offered, would not eliminate requirements for inflation-impacted 
assessments. What it would do is overburden the assessments with a host 
of issues that do not have much to do with inflation.
  What are those issues? The list is quite extensive, but let me 
highlight a few. There are the annual economic values of publicly 
provided goods and services, higher education, and time spent on 
leisure activities and outdoor recreation. There are the annual 
economic costs of lost leisure time due to traffic congestion, 
accidents involving motor vehicles, and the depletion of the ozone 
layer.
  In other words, inflation would no longer be the bill's focus. Under 
this amendment, it would just be one factor among many other things, 
but that is how we got to where we are. Inflation is running rampant 
precisely because the administration is ignoring the inflationary 
impact of its policies, and it is ignoring the deep harm that inflation 
is inflicting on the American people. That is why inflation should be 
the focus of this bill.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this amendment, 
and I reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. OMAR. Mr. Chairman, I yield such time as he may consume to the 
gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Raskin).
  Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Chairman, I thank the distinguished gentlewoman from 
Minnesota for yielding.
  Just to recap where we are from yesterday, the whole Congress eagerly 
awaited to hear what the big anti-inflation initiative would be coming 
from the GOP side of the aisle. In the past, Richard Nixon had offered 
wage and price controls. Herbert Hoover, of course, had dismantled all 
social spending. What was going to be the big plan coming from the 
Republican side? The big plan is to ask for the President of the United 
States, when he issues executive orders, to add inflation estimates.
  Of course, there is no study showing that executive orders have had 
any impact on inflation or deflation in the country, so it seems now we 
are on a real wild goose chase where people are pasting all different 
kinds of things on it.
  The gentlewoman from Minnesota actually comes forward with a very 
interesting idea, which would be a wonderful thing to talk about if we 
had a real hearing in the Oversight Committee about the subject. What 
she is saying is that a number of States, including my State, Maryland, 
have adopted the genuine progress indicator as a real index of social 
and economic well-being in their communities.
  What this does is it doesn't count negative things like the costs of 
car accidents and asbestos poisoning as part of GDP. Right now, there 
are so many negative things that are included as part of GDP. The 
genuine progress indicator has, I believe, 26 different factors that 
measure actual progress in social and economic well-being.
  If we are going to go down this road without a hearing, without any 
real analysis, and this is going to be the majority's approach to 
dealing with inflation, then, by all means, let's include the genuine 
progress indicator.
  Mr. COMER. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. OMAR. Mr. Chairman, as my colleague on the other side of the 
aisle admittedly said, this is just another factor that gives us more 
tools, more ability to fully comprehend what is happening with our 
economy.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to support this amendment and vote 
``yes.''
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentlewoman from Minnesota (Ms. Omar).
  The amendment was rejected.


                 Amendment No. 12 Offered by Mr. Perry

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 12 
printed in House Report 118-4.
  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

         Page 3, line 11, strike ``$1,000,000,000'' and insert 
     ``$1,000,000''.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 166, the gentleman 
from Pennsylvania (Mr. Perry) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Pennsylvania.
  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Chairman, the underlying bill requires the President 
to have prepared for the American people and consider the inflation 
impacts of all major executive orders. This provides transparency to 
the American people of the economic impacts of such executive orders.
  At the Rules Committee last night, the minority raised concerns that 
these requirements would apply to a limited number of circumstances. 
This amendment actually appeases these concerns by lowering the 
threshold at which an executive order is considered major for the 
requirements of the bill from $1 billion to $1 million.
  This reduced threshold will ensure the President is required to 
assess the inflationary impacts of significantly more executive orders 
than the underlying bill would require, which actually increases the 
amount of transparency provided by this bill.
  I am sure the minority would agree with increased transparency. They

[[Page H978]]

asked for it just last night. They asked for it just in the last debate 
over the last amendment.
  Mr. Chairman, I am sure we have all heard from our constituents about 
the impact of inflation. This amendment allows us to expand our efforts 
to address their concerns.
  While some of my friends on the other side of the aisle might say, 
well, we need a different index, or we need an additional index, here 
is what the American people don't need: They don't need some report of 
progress or you name whatever you want to name it.
  What the American people know is this: When they go to the store, 
everything they are buying costs more. It is unaffordable. When they go 
to the gas station to try to fill up their tank, it costs them more. 
When they go to the lumberyard, when they go to the bank, when they try 
to buy a new home, everything costs more.
  They don't need some index to tell them that the cost of living is 
going up and something is causing it, and one of the things is this. 
Regardless of which party is in power in the executive branch, 
executive orders would maybe actually reduce the cost of inflation. We 
need to know that, too. We just want to know what the answer is 
regardless of which way. This amendment would provide for that.
  Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Chairman, now we move from the ludicrous to the 
absurd to the sublime.
  Yesterday, they wanted a report from the President upon issuance of 
an executive order for executive orders having an inflationary impact 
or having an economic impact of $1 billion. Today, they have gone to 
one one-thousandth of that. They want a report for every $1 million.
  The gentleman points out that I observed yesterday that it would 
apply to only a handful of executive orders, which is absolutely right. 
I wasn't arguing or wasn't concerned, as he said, that it applies to 
too few cases. I was just reflecting about how silly the whole exercise 
was.
  They didn't even seem to understand how few executive orders it would 
apply to, just like they forgot to put into the legislation a 
requirement that it actually be published, something that was remedied 
yesterday in the Boebert amendment.
  In any event, Mr. Chairman, now they want an inflationary estimate 
statement when there is an executive order that has $1 million economic 
impact, which, by my quick calculation here, is three one-hundred-
thousandths of 1 percent of the $26 trillion U.S. economy. It is a 
fraction of the budget of the Oversight Committee itself. We may as 
well be saying we should register what the inflationary impact is of 
the majority and minority budgets in the Oversight Committee.
  Obviously, this is an exercise in futility, in silliness. They are 
finger painting on their own legislation, which itself is not based on 
any legislative process, based on any hearing, and it obviously does 
nothing to reduce inflation.
  That, however, is what this administration has been working on. Of 
course, they don't talk about unemployment anymore, which they used to 
talk about, because President Biden's administration created 12 million 
new jobs, whereas the last President destroyed millions of jobs. The 
economy has come roaring back under the Biden administration, just like 
the Biden administration is actually bringing inflation down.
  Example: Check out the Inflation Reduction Act. Everybody who is on 
insulin in America under the Medicare program is now paying only $35 a 
month. Now, we know that they opposed that. We know they wanted to 
repeal that provision. I think they still do want to repeal that 
provision, but that was a very concrete action, to lower prescription 
drug prices for diabetics within the Medicare program. They have been 
lowered across the board within the Medicare program.
  That is the kind of specific programmatic action that the Biden 
administration has undertaken, not a silly reporting bill, which some 
days is applying to a billion dollars, some days it is applying to a 
million dollars. There is no rhyme or reason to what they are doing.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Chair, I will just say this. I am not from Maryland, 
and I don't live around the beltway here, where everything is just 
fine. I live up in Pennsylvania, where $1 billion or $1 million is a 
lot of money to hardworking people who get up in the dark of night and 
head out to work. A million dollars is a lot of money, and they would 
like to know where we are spending it here.
  Mr. Chair, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from 
Kentucky (Mr. Comer), the chairman of the committee.

  Mr. COMER. Mr. Chair, I rise in support of the Perry amendment.
  My colleague's amendment extends the bill's coverage to executive 
orders with annual impacts of $1 million or more. This makes sure 
inflation assessments will be prepared for most executive orders.
  This is not an undue burden on the President. Even at President 
Biden's relatively blistering pace, he has issued only 107 executive 
orders over more than 2 years.
  I submit that, with today's sky-high inflation continuing and with no 
clear end in sight, it is important that the inflationary impacts of 
most of President Biden's executive orders should be assessed. If my 
colleague's amendment is adopted, they will be.
  Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this amendment.
  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Chair, may I inquire as to the time remaining.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Pennsylvania has 2 minutes 
remaining. The gentleman from Maryland has 2 minutes remaining.
  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Chairman, I don't know that there is much left to say 
on the substance of this amendment.
  I did hear my colleague from Pennsylvania make some sort of 
disparaging remark about Maryland and about how he didn't live in 
Maryland, where, apparently, we don't understand the value of money.
  Well, the land where we actually are standing today used to be part 
of Maryland. It was ceded by Maryland to Congress for the purpose of 
creating the District of Columbia.
  When our Capitol came under attack by violent insurrectionists and 
those who were chanting ``hang Mike Pence'' and who were determined to 
overthrow the 2020 Presidential election, there were hundreds of police 
officers who came from Maryland to join the Metropolitan Police 
Department and the Capitol Police officers in defense of the Capitol of 
the United States.
  I take umbrage at any insinuation that the people of Maryland need to 
take a back seat to anybody in terms of the defense of the principles 
of this country. I would thank Mr. Perry for a correction about that.
  Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Chair, let me just say this. There were no disparaging 
remarks about Maryland, only the fact that people in Pennsylvania 
understand the value of $1 million or $1 billion, and they want to know 
how it is being spent in Washington, D.C. It is their government. The 
citizens of the United States, it is their government, and it is their 
tax money.
  This amendment seeks to provide that transparency so that they know 
the effect of executive orders coming out of the White House, how it 
affects their wallet. They should know that. We should all be for that.
  If you want to discuss the Inflation Reduction Act, you can call any 
bill here anything you want to. You can call it kids are beautiful and 
the Sun is going to shine today. But here is what I know: In central 
Pennsylvania, where I live, the good citizens that I represent are 
paying $5, $6, $7 for a dozen eggs. They are paying $6, $7 for a pound 
of hamburger. They can't afford to drive to work. They can't afford to 
pay their energy bills. They are having a hard time paying their 
mortgage.
  That is inflation, sir. That is inflation, to the good gentleman from 
Maryland. Part of that is caused by the White House's edicts that 
impose

[[Page H979]]

things on the American people. They want to know and have the right to 
know what that is so they can inform their votes.
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Chairman, yes, the prices of housing are too high, 
and the prices of groceries are too high. That is why the 
administration is working concretely to lower prices and why inflation 
is coming down now across the board.
  What do we get from the majority today? They want a reporting bill 
about the inflationary impact in executive orders, nothing even about 
what Congress is doing and how Congress is behaving and contributing to 
inflation. They want to somehow add a technical reporting requirement 
for executive orders and think that is accomplishing something.
  The administration is lowering the cost of student debt despite the 
fact that they are doing everything they can to stop it. The 
administration is acting to lower housing prices across the country. We 
have moved to lower prescription drug prices and healthcare across the 
country. They have been fighting us every step along the way. Instead, 
they come back with this reporting bill, which, again, will do nothing 
to help the fight against inflation.
  Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.

                              {time}  0930

  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Perry).
  The amendment was agreed to.


                 Amendment No. 13 Offered by Mr. Perry

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 13 
printed in House Report 118-4.
  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Page 2, line 11, after ``index'', insert the following: 
     ``(including a detailed description of such impact)''.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 166, the gentleman 
from Pennsylvania (Mr. Perry) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Pennsylvania.
  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Chair, as we all should know by now, this bill 
requires the President to consider for any major executive order the 
impact of the executive order on inflation. I mean, the President is 
the President of the United States and the well-being of every citizen 
should be of the President's concern, and I believe it is.
  When the American people have been suffering this inflation for 
years, it makes sense to require the President, no matter which party, 
to at least consider the impact of his actions on the American people, 
because they don't have any choice in the matter till the next 
election.
  This amendment requires for executive orders that are found to have 
an impact on the Consumer Price Index--we have got to have some 
measure, right? Most people recognize the Consumer Price Index--a 
detailed description of that impact so that we can all be on the same 
page and we can all reference the same data point.
  Folks, this is common sense, and it is reasonable. The way this bill 
is currently written, I support the bill. The statement prepared by the 
President must simply include whether it has an impact on inflation and 
maybe the impact is to lower inflation. That would be awesome.
  I think we are going to have to wait a couple years until we get a 
President that actually does that. So be it, we will accept that, even 
this legislation under a new President that lowers the cost of 
inflation by executive order.
  The current bill doesn't talk about the extent of the impact, which 
is what this amendment seeks to remedy. This amendment requires that 
statement to provide actual information on the extent of the impact 
regarding the Consumer Price Index.
  With that, Mr. Chairman, I urge adoption of this amendment, and I 
reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Chair, I am afraid I remain unilluminated as to what 
that amendment will do. Apparently, the purpose is to require a more 
detailed or technical description of the projected impact, or when an 
assessment required by the bill finds that there will be some 
inflationary effect.
  Again, this sounds like it is simply adding more bureaucracy, more 
paperwork with no return on investment for the taxpayer dollars that it 
would obviously take to conduct such an analysis. I mean, here we have 
gone for more than two centuries with apparently no economist arguing 
that what we really need to stop inflation is more reporting in the 
process of issuance of executive orders by Presidents of the United 
States.
  Suddenly, somebody had a great epiphany over there, without even a 
legislative hearing, that what was really needed was just for the 
President of the United States to append an inflationary statement to 
executive orders at the rate of a billion dollars, perhaps to be 
amended to a million dollars.
  Who knows if it is 50 million or 100 million, but it doesn't make any 
difference because there is no data behind any of it. There is no 
analysis. You may as well spin a wheel and pick a number at which a 
report is going to be compelled by the majority here for the so-called 
REIN IN Act, which stands for the Reduce Exacerbated Inflation 
Negatively Impacting the Nation Act.
  You could go by other titles, including the running on empty index, 
no new ideas, none act, since basically they are scraping the bottom to 
try to figure out something to say about inflation, because the 
administration is actually bringing inflation down.
  Now, we notice they don't talk about unemployment, which used to be 
their mantra: jobs, jobs, jobs. But when Joe Biden came back and 
created 12 million new jobs after the last administration destroyed 
millions of jobs with their lethal recklessness in the mismanagement of 
the coronavirus pandemic and Joe Biden turned it around in this 
administration, they stopped talking about it.
  However, they did notice that there was global inflation going on 
because of the disruption of the global supply chain and because of 
Vladimir Putin's filthy, imperialist invasion of Ukraine, which some of 
their Members actually are cheerleaders for, then there was a real 
problem with inflation.
  The administration has steadily been bringing it down, which is why 
it doesn't have quite the political salience it used to, but the world 
was waiting with bated breath to determine what their actual plan would 
be and, alas, their whole plan is a reporting requirement. Nothing to 
do with Congress and Congress being able to do anything, but a 
reporting requirement for the President when he issues executive 
orders.
  I think the public is gravely disappointed by this complete collapse 
of any real commitment to the one issue they thought they had organized 
their conference around.
  Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Chair, I yield such time as he may consume to the 
gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Comer), chairman of the House Oversight 
Committee.
  Mr. COMER. Mr. Chair, I rise in support of the Perry amendment.
  The one thing that has become clearly obvious to me, Mr. Chairman, is 
the fact that my friends on the other side of the aisle, they have no 
idea how much inflation this administration's policies have created for 
the American people.
  That is the perfect reason why we need to support this bill, as 
amended; if for no other reason, so we can help our friends on the 
other side of the aisle have some type of measurement so they can see 
how damaging their policies and their out-of-control spending has been 
on everyday, average Americans when they go to the grocery store, when 
they fill up their gas tank, when they try to pay their rents now.

  My colleague's amendment is a wise one. This bill requires inflation 
impact assessments to be prepared for the President's executive orders, 
but as we all know, the executive branch routinely does as little as 
possible to comply with assessment and reporting requirements Congress 
imposes on it.

[[Page H980]]

  This amendment makes sure the executive branch will include in its 
inflation impact assessments detailed descriptions of the effects the 
President's executive orders have on inflation, not just back-of-the-
envelope sketches.
  In other words, it makes sure the executive branch will comply with 
the spirit of the bill, not just its letter.
  Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on the Perry 
amendment.
  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Chair, may I inquire as to how much time is remaining.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Pennsylvania has 1\1/2\ minutes 
remaining.
  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Chairman, the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Raskin), my 
friend, talks about increased bureaucracy, the increased bureaucracy of 
informing the American people.
  My goodness. My goodness. I have never heard that from my friends on 
the other side of the aisle, ``increased bureaucracy.'' I mean, all 
they do around here is infuse more government into our lives with every 
single thing they do.
  The gentleman talks about the medical situation and price-fixing. He 
doesn't call it price-fixing, but that is what it is. It is price-
fixing. More bureaucracy taking more drugs off the market, more 
lifesaving research off the market, but they are good with that.
  They talk about 12 million new jobs, but don't talk about the fact 
that in one of the reporting periods a million jobs were created but 
then it was only months later we find out that only 10,000 were 
created.
  Oh, and that first report? Right before the election. Interesting how 
that happened.
  He doesn't want to talk about that or the workforce participation 
rate. He talks about lowering inflation. You can talk about that all 
you want to but people that pay for things don't experience it. So you 
can say it is true, but the reality is that it is not true. All these 
years he has been saying it is unnecessary to do this.
  My goodness. My good friend from Maryland is a member of the 
legislature. You would think he would want to preserve the power of the 
legislature instead of handing it to the executive branch, which is 
what this place has done for years upon years.
  Now we have a chance, and my friend wants to hand yet more power to 
the executive branch instead of preserving the power of the branch that 
he serves in.
  Mr. Chairman, I urge adoption of the amendment, and I yield back the 
balance of my time.
  Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Chairman, one can only regard with amazement the 
gentleman's insinuation that I want to hand power to the executive 
branch when we have been acting here in Congress to pass the 
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and to pass the Inflation 
Reduction Act in the last Congress.
  All of the measures they oppose, we moved in order to make real 
economic progress in the country. Congress was doing that.
  They have a big opportunity today to come forward with what their 
anti-inflation agenda is. Their whole anti-inflation agenda is: we are 
going to beg the President of the United States to append some 
inflation numbers to an executive order, to a handful of executive 
orders over the course of the year.
  The gentleman also, I think, slipped in his opposition to our 
legislation, which reduces to $35 a month what diabetics have to pay 
for their insulin shots. He calls this price-fixing.
  My friend from Pennsylvania is invited to contradict me if I 
misunderstood him. I think he was describing all of the lowering of 
prescription drug prices we have done.
  We are saving millions of Americans across the country thousands of 
dollars in their Medicare prescription drug prices, and the gentleman 
just called that price-fixing. I assume he is opposed to it.
  Mr. Chair, I am happy to yield, if he would like to correct me, but 
otherwise I am going to go back with the conclusion that you are 
opposed to all of the lowering of the prescription drug prices that the 
Congress actually engaged in in the 117th Congress.
  Finally, the gentleman would like to somehow put in our court the 
burden of bureaucracy.
  Well, let's talk about the major bureaucracy that is being put in 
place in America today to violate the rights and the freedom of women 
to make their own medical decisions as they try to criminalize that.
  I don't know exactly where the gentleman is--perhaps he can clarify 
it--most of them support a national ban on abortion, taking what was a 
constitutional right for more than a half century and turning it into a 
felony criminal offense or a misdemeanor criminal offense.
  You want to talk about bureaucracy? You want to talk about police 
state? That is on you.
  Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Perry).
  The amendment was agreed to.


                  Amendment No. 14 Offered by Mr. Roy

  The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 14 
printed in House Report 118-4.
  Mr. ROY. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Page 3, beginning on line 11, strike ``, but'' and all that 
     follows through ``Tribe'' on line 24.

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 166, the gentleman 
from Texas (Mr. Roy) and a Member opposed each will control 5 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Texas.
  Mr. ROY. Mr. Chairman, I rise today to offer an amendment to this 
underlying piece of legislation to ensure that it applies to 
everything. I don't believe that we should be in the business of 
exempting certain executive orders. I think they should apply across 
the board.
  My amendment would strike the exceptions to the bill's inflation 
estimates for executive orders that provide emergency assistance or 
relief or related to national security.
  I don't believe that we should be pulling out of the calculation 
those executive orders that touch on national security simply because, 
frankly, often my colleagues on both sides of the aisle want to be able 
to use ``emergency'' for all manner of sins, and they want to be able 
to use the Defense Department to hide behind all manner of sins and 
expenditures.
  The underlying bill is actually an important piece of legislation, 
despite what my colleague from Maryland is saying.
  Why? Because the executive orders being offered by this 
administration, and frankly by many administrations, do have an actual 
and significant inflationary impact.

                              {time}  0945

  We are allowing the executive branch to run amuck. We are allowing 
the executive branch to essentially legislate and make massive policies 
that have an enormous impact on everyday, hardworking American people.
  That is why this legislation is important. Unlike our colleagues on 
the other side of the aisle who like to use the power of government to 
be able to actually put gasoline on the fire of inflation by spending 
more money, by engaging government into the business of the American 
people, we want to be able to look at information about what government 
is doing to cause the problem in the first place.
  For example, the President's executive order on vaccine mandates. You 
don't believe that had a massive inflationary impact to go around this 
country, forcing people to stick a needle in their arm or lose their 
job, causing all sorts of constraints in labor supply, making it 
difficult for people to carry out their jobs?
  You don't believe that the executive orders on minimum wage, the 
executive orders on the Keystone pipeline, and other limitations on 
Federal oil and gas leases, the executive orders with respect to WOTUS 
and NEPA and all sorts of environmental rules and regulations that 
restrict the ability of the American people to create wealth, create 
jobs, create opportunities; you don't believe those create inflationary 
impact?
  Of course they do. Our job in Congress is to check the executive 
branch. Our job in Congress is to stand up for the American people and 
get the government out of their lives.

[[Page H981]]

  This amendment is designed to make sure that we are going to apply it 
equally to all manners of the executive orders produced by the 
President, regardless of party. We believe that it is critically 
important.
  Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Chair, I claim the time in opposition.
  The Acting CHAIR: The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. RASKIN. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New York (Mr. 
Jeffries), the distinguished minority leader.
  Mr. JEFFRIES. Mr. Chair, I thank the distinguished gentleman from the 
great State of Maryland for his tremendous leadership.
  I rise today in opposition to the amendment, as well as to the 
underlying bill, the so-called REIN ACT, which is not really designed 
to do anything meaningful in terms of addressing the economic concerns 
of the American people.
  That is consistent with the fact that over the last 2 months of this 
extreme MAGA Republican majority, they have been focused on doing 
anything but dealing with the real kitchen-table pocketbook concerns of 
the American people.
  Over the last year or so, all we heard was that this extreme MAGA 
Republican majority was going to try to address the economic concerns 
of everyday Americans.
  So we have been waiting and waiting and waiting for the big, grand 
Republican plan--waiting for it, notwithstanding the fact that 
President Biden's administration has done a tremendous job pulling us 
out of a once-in-a-century pandemic, and in partnership with Democrats 
through the American Rescue Plan, saved the economy from a deep 
recession, put shots in arms, money in pockets, kids back in school, 
invested in the infrastructure of this country, which will create 
millions of good-paying jobs; passed the CHIPS and Science Act to bring 
domestic manufacturing jobs back home to the United States of America; 
passed the Inflation Reduction Act to strike a dramatic blow against 
the climate crisis, set our planet on a sustainable trajectory forward; 
strengthened the Affordable Care Act, lower healthcare costs, drive 
down the high price of lifesaving prescription drugs for millions of 
Americans, including many on insulin, which will now be reduced to $35 
a month.
  That is the economic record of this administration: 12 million good-
paying jobs created over the last 2 years, record unemployment.
  Yes, we still have challenges that we need to address as we try to 
emerge from this inflationary environment that has afflicted the entire 
world.
  Oh, by the way, the United States' economy has emerged from COVID in 
a better position than any other developed country because of the Biden 
economic plan and the partnership with House Democrats and Senate 
Democrats.
  But we have been waiting and waiting and waiting for the grand 
Republican plan, and here it is, the so-called REIN IN Act. Three 
pages. Three pages.
  What does it call for? Reports. Reports. It is the grand Republican 
economic plan. Why? Because you have been focused on the wrong things.
  Now, House Democrats, we are going to continue to invest in the 
American people, invest in education and job training, invest in 
transportation and infrastructure, invest in research and development, 
invest in technology and innovation, invest in the creation and 
preservation of affordable housing, invest in the health, the safety, 
the economic well-being of the American people.
  That is our plan. We are going to continue to put people over 
politics. We get three pages calling for reports, the so-called REIN IN 
Act.
  Here is what we should be reining in. We should be reining in the 
extreme MAGA Republican effort to cut Social Security.
  We should rein in the extreme MAGA Republican effort to cut Medicare; 
rein in the extreme MAGA Republican effort to criminalize reproductive 
freedom and impose a nationwide ban; rein in the extreme MAGA 
Republican effort to crash the United States' economy and default on 
our debt for the first time in American history.
  We should be reining in your effort to hand over sensitive security 
footage from the January 6 violent insurrection to an avowed conspiracy 
theorist. That is what we should be reining in.
  A three-page plan calling for reports is not a serious effort to 
address the challenges facing the American people, but we will continue 
to be serious about putting people over politics, fighting for lower 
costs, fighting for better-paying jobs, fighting for safer communities, 
fighting for reproductive freedom, and defending our democracy at all 
costs.

  Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Chair, I thank the gentleman for his extraordinarily 
insightful and significant remarks.
  The only exception I would take is when he referred to extreme MAGA. 
We actually had a colloquy about this yesterday with the good 
gentlewoman from Colorado.
  I had gently suggested that perhaps our colleagues on the other side 
of the aisle could stop referring to ``Democrat Congresswomen'' with 
``Democrat plans'' and ``Democrat bills.''
  ``Democrat'' is a noun. The adjective is ``Democratic.'' So it would 
be the ``Democratic Congresswoman,'' the ``Democratic bill,'' and so 
on.
  I said it grates on our ears the same ways it would grate on your 
ears if every time we invoke the name of your party, we said the 
``banana Republican Congresswoman'' or the ``banana Republican Member'' 
or the ``banana Republican Conference.'' That, we would consider a 
breach of civility and decorum, so would we prefer to go back to 
something else.
  Yet, the gentlewoman from Colorado said, if I understood her 
correctly, that she would continue with her deliberate mispronunciation 
of the name of our party in its adjectival form.
  By the way, she took the opportunity to raise the whole question of 
MAGA, which I had not mentioned. She said, and when you call me MAGA, 
don't call me MAGA--call me ultra-MAGA.
  So when the minority leader referred to the extreme MAGA element, 
which appears to be driving the train over there, he should have called 
it the ultra-MAGA element out of deference to the gentlewoman from 
Colorado.
  I certainly will be able to honor her wishes in the future as she 
chooses to be described as ultra-MAGA.
  Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. ROY. Mr. Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Kentucky 
(Mr. Comer), my friend.
  Mr. COMER. Mr. Chair, I rise in support of the Roy amendment. My 
colleague's amendment removes exceptions in the bill to the requirement 
that inflation impact assessments be prepared for all major executive 
orders.
  With historic inflation created by this administration's inflationary 
policies, as well as the previous House majority's excessive, 
unnecessary spending spree, historic inflation is harming households 
across the Nation.
  Our focus should be on doing everything we can to protect our 
constituents against further inflation. Extending the bill's 
requirement to all major executive orders is one way we can do that, 
and that will not unduly burden the President.
  After all, the bill's requirements do not prevent any executive order 
from being issued. They just make sure the President is aware of the 
inflationary impact that his orders may threaten because I don't think 
my friends on the other side of the aisle realize how much these orders 
have impacted inflation.
  So I hope that this helps stop the Bidenflation at its source by 
helping President Biden to see that the inflationary consequences of 
his actions at the time he is considering them. I urge my colleagues to 
vote ``yes''.
  Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Chair, may I inquire as to how much time is 
remaining?
  The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Bucshon). The gentleman from Maryland has 2\1/
2\ minutes remaining.
  Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Chair, so I believe our colleagues are coming clean. 
They opposed the American Rescue Act, which was absolutely essential 
legislation to get the country out of the Trump economic wreckage 
during the last administration.
  We had 14.8 percent unemployment; the highest unemployment rate since 
the Department of Labor started keeping statistics.

[[Page H982]]

  Today it is down to 4 percent with the creation of 12 million new 
jobs under the Biden administration. So they shift the subject from 
unemployment, which they used to talk about, to inflation.
  Well, they raised the debt limit themselves three times under Donald 
Trump who contributed 25 percent of the entire debt of the Nation 
between George Washington and Joe Biden.
  Mr. Chair, 25 percent all came from the Trump administration, but 
they are looking for something to try to pin on Biden.
  So rather than acknowledging that Putin's war in Russia and the 
disruption of the global supply chains caused by the coronavirus 
pandemic created a global inflation, and America is doing much better 
bringing it down than anybody else, they decide just to try to demonize 
and vilify Joe Biden.
  Why? Because the cabinet is empty. The cupboard is bare. There are no 
ideas over there, as the distinguished minority leader said.
  They are not offering any ideas--some reporting requirements, and 
they are doodling on that; should it be a billion or a million or 
hundred million.
  Who knows? There has been no hearing on it, so they are making it up 
as they go along on the floor of the House. We can do much better as we 
did in the 117th Congress to get America moving again.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. ROY. Mr. Chair, may I inquire as to how much time is remaining?
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Texas has 1\1/2\ minutes 
remaining.
  Mr. ROY. Mr. Chair, the question seems to be about we have nothing 
allegedly in the cupboard, nothing to offer. I think there is plenty to 
offer.
  How about stop spending money we don't have? How about stop dumping 
trillions of dollars into the economy, jamming up inflation?
  How about ending all of the subsidies and all of the Federal 
expenditures that are undermining the American people's ability to 
create wealth and create jobs?
  The gentleman talks about the amount of debt that was increased under 
President Trump. How about the 43 to 45 percent of our entire debt that 
was increased under Nancy Pelosi as Speaker?

  Because those are the actual facts, and this is the body that has the 
power of the purse. This is the body that starts all the spending. We 
know where the spending starts.
  The fact of the matter is my colleagues on the other side of the 
aisle like to talk about creating 12 million jobs.
  First of all, this body doesn't create jobs. The government doesn't 
create jobs. The American people create jobs.
  The fact is our labor participation rate is still far behind pre-
COVID levels. We are basically playing catch-up to the utter 
destruction that was levied against the American people by government, 
against the American people, shutting down this economy, locking our 
kids in the corners, setting our kids back generations in terms of 
their academic performance, and criticizing three-page bills.
  I will tell you what. It is a far cry better than the 4,100-page, 
$1.7 trillion omnibus bill jammed through by the Democrats in December, 
destroying this economy.
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Chairman, it is always a pleasure to hear my friend 
from Texas, Mr. Roy, who mentions something which sounded like a 
substantive suggestion about ending corporate subsidies, or perhaps I 
intuited or interpreted that.
  If he wants to work on legislation with me on ending corporate 
welfare and corporate subsidies in America, I would love to do that.
  That would be a serious step in the right direction, and I would love 
to work with him on that.
  I take it by his suggestion that we rein in spending, something that 
I referred to when we talked about the Republicans raising the debt 
limit three times under Donald Trump, they had no problem with doing it 
back then and creating all of this debt, and we know that the former 
President was spending like a drunken sailor.
  I take it that by not mentioning the legislation anymore, he is 
basically conceding that this bill will do nothing to bring down the 
inflation rate. It certainly will not. I don't know if they have been 
able to mobilize a single economist in the country who would argue that 
passing this legislation will bring the inflation rate down.
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

                              {time}  1000

  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Roy).
  The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes 
appeared to have it.
  Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Chair, I demand a recorded vote.
  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further 
proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas will 
be postponed.


                 Amendment No. 15 Offered by Mr. Yakym

  The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Lawler). It is now in order to consider 
amendment No. 15 printed in House Report 118-4.
  Mr. YAKYM. Mr. Chair, I have an amendment at the desk.
  The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
  The text of the amendment is as follows:

       Page 2, line 3, strike ``For'' and insert the following:
       (1) In general.--For
       Page 2, after line 14, insert the following:
       (2) CPI impact disaggregated.--If an Executive order is 
     determined to have a quantifiable inflationary impact on the 
     consumer price index under subsection (a), the statement 
     required by such subsection shall include the amount of such 
     impact on the consumer price index in total and disaggregated 
     by the Food, Energy, and All Items Less Food and Energy 
     categories of the consumer price index (as such categories 
     are determined by the Secretary of Labor in consultation with 
     the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics).

  The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 166, the gentleman 
from Indiana (Mr. Yakym) and a Member opposed each will control 5 
minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Indiana.
  Mr. YAKYM. Mr. Chair, my amendment is a simple one. It would require 
that the President's inflation analysis include not just a top-line 
estimate but also a breakdown to the CPI's three major subgroups: food, 
energy, and all items less food and energy.
  Americans are navigating inflation rates not seen in generations, and 
their dollar isn't going far enough because wages aren't keeping up. It 
is no wonder that a recent Gallup poll found that 50 percent of 
Americans say they are worse off financially than just a year ago, and 
that is a level not seen since the Great Recession.
  Let me be clear: We have this generational inflation thanks to 2 
years of runaway spending. I will grant that the pandemic caused 
massive disruptions to our economy, supply chains, and our way of life. 
It was going to be a bumpy ride coming out of that.
  However, policies like the American Rescue Plan that were rammed 
through Congress without a single Republican vote threw gasoline on the 
fire and supercharged inflation. With one hand, the government was 
giving away money, and with the other hand, they were taking it right 
back, and then some, due to inflation.
  Yet, Americans have essentially been told not to believe their lying 
eyes. They were assured that inflation would merely be ``transitory,'' 
even as it spiraled higher. They were told it was all Vladimir Putin's 
fault, even though energy inflation averaged just over 21 percent in 
2021, the year before Russia invaded Ukraine.
  Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act--again, without a single 
Republican vote. The only problem with the Inflation Reduction Act is 
that it doesn't actually reduce inflation.
  Everyday Americans' experience with inflation has made one thing 
abundantly clear: Not all inflation is created equal. Energy and food 
inflation are particularly harmful. There is no more kitchen-table 
issue than food inflation. There is no more readily available reminder 
of the toll of inflation than the price at the pump.
  Energy and food inflation impact every single American and hit those 
living paycheck to paycheck especially hard. Seniors and others on 
fixed incomes have watched helplessly as costs have risen beyond their 
ability to keep up.

[[Page H983]]

  My amendment will ensure that the President keeps food and energy 
costs front and center before signing an executive order by breaking 
out the inflation analysis down to CPI's three main subgroups: food, 
energy, and all items less food and energy.
  An overall inflation figure is not enough. Last month's inflation 
reading showed a 6.4 percent year-over-year rise in top-line inflation, 
but let's drill down one level deeper. Food inflation was 10.1 percent, 
and energy inflation was 8.7. This has been the story for the last 2 
years. Energy inflation has outpaced overall inflation for 24 of the 
last 24 months, and food inflation has outpaced overall inflation for 
13.
  The top-line number simply doesn't tell the entire story. Drilling 
down one level deeper in the inflation analysis will increase 
transparency for the American people. It will focus attention not just 
on inflation but on the type of inflation.
  If the President wants to sign an executive order that, for example, 
bans new energy production, the American people deserve to know how 
that order will impact energy inflation.
  Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to support my amendment, and I 
reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Chair, I rise in opposition to the amendment.
  The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Maryland is recognized for 5 
minutes.
  Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Chair, I thank the gentleman for introducing his 
amendment, which would add yet another reporting dimension to this 
already wasteful, bureaucratic paperwork exercise when what the 
American people need, deserve, and are getting from the Biden 
administration is real, tangible action to bring down prices in 
America.
  What are we doing? Well, here is one of the things we are doing for 
older people who disproportionately depend on prescription drugs and 
people battling illness right now: We have dramatically lowered the 
cost of prescription drugs in the Medicare program for millions and 
millions of Americans.
  We just heard someone on the other side of the aisle, the gentleman 
from Pennsylvania, call this price fixing. Well, here is an example of 
the price fixing that President Biden and the Democratic majority are 
engaged in. We fixed the price for people who were paying thousands of 
dollars for insulin shots. We fixed it by putting it down to $35 a 
month, and they oppose it.
  Talk about inflation? What about inflation for diabetics? They don't 
count? We are not interested in inflation for diabetics, just for large 
corporations, the people who got more than $1 trillion in a tax cut 
from the last President? That is who we care about?
  We don't care about millions of people who have diabetes in the 
country, who are spending thousands of dollars a year to pay for their 
insulin shots? Well, we cut that inflation down to $35 a month, and we 
get a lecture from them about how that doesn't count.
  The Biden administration is trying to cut hundreds of millions of 
dollars from people who have to pay under a staggering student loan 
debt today, and they are fighting us on that. They don't care about 
that kind of inflation. They don't care about the pocketbooks of people 
who are staggering under student loan debt, 43 million people. We are 
talking about billions of dollars. Forty-three million people will be 
assisted by the student loan debt executive order and initiatives taken 
by the Biden administration, but that doesn't count for them.
  We started this series of amendments by talking about the fact that 
they have this self-imposed political speech impediment. They can't 
correctly pronounce the name of our party in its adjectival form, but I 
thought of a solution to this because I was reading a great book by 
H.W. Brands about Franklin D. Roosevelt called ``Traitor to His 
Class.'' In the book, he has a bunch of Roosevelt's speeches. Do you 
know what President Roosevelt called our party? Not the Democratic 
Party, much less the Democrat Party. If you can't pronounce it, do what 
Roosevelt did. He called us the democracy. He said the ``economic 
royalists,'' the corporate plutocrats, say if you invest in the 
wealthiest people in society, some of the wealth will trickle down on 
everybody else, but the democracy says you invest in the great working 
middle class of America, and we will all rise and prosper together. 
That is the doctrine of the democracy.

  If you can't pronounce the name of our party, just call us the 
democracy. That is what we are today because we defend the right to 
vote, and we defend free and fair elections, and we stand by the 
results of elections.
  We defend not only the country and our democratic allies all over the 
world, as in Ukraine, but we defend this body; we defend this Chamber; 
we defend the Capitol of the United States; and we defend the interests 
of the working majority of Americans.
  The American people are not asking for more reports and more 
bureaucracy. They are asking for action, and that is what the Biden 
administration and Democrats in Congress are giving them.
  Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. YAKYM. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from 
Kentucky (Mr. Comer).
  Mr. COMER. Mr. Chair, I rise in support of the amendment.
  Perhaps no part of Bidenflation has been more painful than its 
impacts on food and energy prices. One can hardly imagine kitchen-table 
issues greater than those.
  Bidenflation is causing food prices to skyrocket, as well as the 
prices for energy to cook it and the prices of the gasoline needed to 
get to the market. The list goes painfully on.
  My colleague's amendment makes sure that when the President is 
considering major executive orders, he will be informed in a crystal-
clear way of the inflationary impacts his orders may have on food and 
energy prices. It is my hope that will bring some relief to our 
constituents at their kitchen tables.
  Mr. Chair, I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this amendment.
  Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Chair, the Biden administration brought Trump's 
unemployment rate, which was skyrocketing, down. We went from 14.8 
percent to less than 4 percent, creating 12 million new jobs.
  Now, President Biden is bringing down the soaring inflation rate he 
inherited because of the massive disruption in global supply chains 
caused by the lethal recklessness of the Trump administration in 
mismanaging the pandemic response.
  We are saying, let's finish the job. Just as we brought unemployment 
down, we are bringing inflation down. We are making the American 
economy work for the American people through strategic investments like 
the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, a $1.2 trillion investment 
in the roads, the highways, the bridges, the ports, the airports, and 
broadband across the country, in rural areas.
  President Biden is fighting for investment in the American people, 
and that is what the Democrats are fighting for, not a bunch of 
reports. We don't need this legislation.
  Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. YAKYM. Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to support this 
amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
  The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the 
gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Yakym).
  The amendment was agreed to.
