                   FAMILIES ASSAULTED BY BIDENFLATION

  (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, since Biden came to 
office, the pocketbooks of American families have been assaulted.
  Upon his arrival, inflation was just 1.4 percent, but with 
Bidenflation of spend, borrow, and tax, inflation has reached a 40-year 
high, destroying jobs.
  Bidenflation is a tax on American citizens and a direct result of the 
reckless spending of Biden and far-left Democrats, costing households 
over $12,000 more a year just for the basics.
  Examples of such price increases include eggs, which are up by 49 
percent; baby food, up 31 percent; electricity, up 29 percent; pet 
food, up 24 percent; and coffee, up 20 percent.
  House Republicans will continue to fight to reduce inflation and 
create jobs.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops who successfully protected 
America for 20 years as the global war on terrorism moves from the 
Afghanistan safe haven to America. We do not need new border laws. We 
need to enforce the current existing laws. Biden shamefully opens the 
borders for dictators as more 9/11 attacks across America are imminent, 
as warned by the FBI.
