                          IMPACTS OF INFLATION

  (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. Mr. Speaker, the disastrous decisions 
by Biden hurts the pocketbooks of Americans and destroys jobs, made 
even more obvious as we enter the holiday season of Christmas and 
Hanukkah.
  Bidenomics inflation has overcome hourly raises, reducing the 
spending power of Americans by $11,434 annually in the two Biden years.
  Under Biden, prices for the same Thanksgiving dinner were 25 percent 
higher in 2023 than in 2019. As Christmas approaches, Americans are 
challenged. In a WalletHub survey, more than one in three Americans are 
foregoing gifts this year due to Bidenflation.
  Republicans, led by Speaker   Mike Johnson, will continue to fight to 
reduce inflation and create jobs. Speaker Johnson is correct that we 
must support the borders of Ukraine and America.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops who successfully protected 
America for 20 years in the global war on terrorism as it continues 
moving from the safe haven of Afghanistan to America with Biden open 
borders for terrorists.
  It is sadly clear there will be more
9/11 attacks across America imminent, as finally admitted by the FBI.
