                               BIDENOMICS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
Michigan (Mrs. McClain) for 5 minutes.
  Mrs. McCLAIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about the reality of 
Bidenomics.
  We have heard the President say time and time again that his economic 
policies have worked. He actually believes that the American economy is 
better today than it was before he took office.
  Mr. Speaker, let's look at the facts because we know this 
administration has a habit of changing terms, redefining issues, and 
really not looking at the facts.
  So let's look at the facts.
  Gas is up 34 percent since Joe Biden took office, energy prices are 
up 28.5 percent, and the average American family is paying almost 
$1,200 more per month in everyday needs.
  Now, tell me, Mr. Speaker, does that sound like an economy that is 
strong?
  The clear answer is no, the economy is not strong. It is actually a 
lot weaker than it was before Joe Biden took office.
  The sad reality is that hardworking taxpayers are footing the bill 
for Biden's policy failures. I think it is time we tell the truth, that 
Bidenomics has been a complete and utter failure.
