          WHAT AMERICA MAKES AND GROWS MAKES AND GROWS AMERICA

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about the irresponsible 
brinksmanship being played by House Republicans with the debt ceiling.
  Let me point out that inflation happens when too much money chases 
too few goods. In order to stem inflation, America needs to be 
producing more goods right here at home, not importing more and more of 
everything and subjecting our markets to supply chain choke holds from 
offshore producers and shippers that drive the prices up.
  What America makes and grows makes and grows America. Supporting 
products made in America makes and grows a real middle class. Why 
champion more windfalls for Wall Street and powerful financial titans 
that finance outsourcing our jobs going to penny wage havens? We should 
reshore what Americans use, eat, and drive and reduce inflation.
  Speaker McCarthy ought to stand up for America, stand with the 
American people on Main Street, not with the outsourcers and scions of 
finance on Wall Street who outsource our jobs.
