                    FAILED TAX AND SPENDING 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. Madam Speaker, failed tax and spending 
policies by Biden and liberal Democrats hurt families.
  Since Biden took office, the 10-year spending levels have increased 
by $10 trillion. Sadly, this includes the $2 trillion American Rescue 
Plan, which ignited the highest inflation in 40 years, destroying jobs.
  I was grateful to join House Republicans in passing the Limit, Save, 
Grow Act, which will limit government spending, reduce Federal 
regulations, and promote pro-growth energy policies.
  House Republicans are the only ones who have passed legislation that 
responsibly addresses the debt ceiling by limiting irresponsible 
spending, saving taxpayer dollars, and creating jobs.
  Democrats own this debt crisis, and they own default if they do not 
come to the table with a serious proposal.
  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.
  South Carolina appreciates Senator Tim Scott and Ambassador Nikki 
Haley.
