                            TODAY'S ECONOMY

  (Mrs. KIM of California asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. KIM of California. Mr. Speaker, American families are hurting 
from high inflation resulting in higher prices of everyday goods from 
groceries to gasoline. Nearly two out of every three Americans is 
living paycheck to paycheck.
  Unfortunately, in California, everything is more expensive. That is 
why I am working to bring some common sense to Congress and make life 
affordable by combating reckless spending and lowering taxes.

  Earlier this year, I joined my friend from California, Representative 
 Mike Garcia, to introduce the Inflation Prevention Act to ensure that 
Congress doesn't pass bills that add to inflationary spending until the 
year-after-year rate drops below 4.5 percent.
  Last week, I introduced the SALT Deductibility Act to repeal the 
current cap on State and local tax deductions that is unfairly making 
my constituents pay more taxes.
  I will keep fighting to make sure that life is easier for folks in 
California's 40th District and across the Nation.
