           BIDEN POLICIES UNDERMINE FOURTH OF JULY BARBECUES

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Madam Speaker, Tennesseans celebrating America's 
independence will have to pay more for their Fourth of July barbecues 
thanks to President Biden's disastrous economic policies that have 
caused rampant inflation.
  According to the American Farm Bureau, the cost of a cookout has 
reached record highs, 30 percent higher than just 5 years ago or $71.22 
for a 10-person barbecue.
  Madam Speaker, while the President attempts to take away our freedoms 
by implementing his burdensome and wrongheaded policy agenda through 
executive action and administrative rulings, he is also undermining our 
ability to celebrate our freedoms by making almost everything more and 
more unaffordable.
  Tennesseans have rightfully had enough and will have their voices 
heard this November. Until then, House Republicans are committed to 
holding the line on the Biden administration's desire to recklessly 
spend our country into oblivion.
