         PRESIDENT TRUMP IS DELIVERING REAL RELIEF FOR FAMILIES

  (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, President Trump is 
delivering real relief for families in the form of lower costs for 
everyday items, creating jobs.
  Wages are growing faster than prices, putting more money into the 
pockets of Americans. Year over year, inflation fell over 2.4 percent 
in January, marking a new low. Core inflation has dropped to the lowest 
level in 5 years, underscoring progress made by Donald Trump.
  In the first Trump year, real earnings for workers have outpaced 
inflation by $1,400, earning back some of the $3,000 lost under Biden.
  Key prices are falling in January. Beef, eggs, and coffee prices all 
declined. The interest rates are down for home building. Gasoline 
prices are falling. Promises made, promises kept.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism 
continues. Trump is reinstituting peace through strength, revealing war 
criminal Putin lies, insulting Trump and mocking Trump as we now see 
war criminal Putin entering into the fourth anniversary of the Putin 
invasion today, which he lied to his troops would be a 30-day special 
mission. Courageous Ukrainians with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will 
be victorious over mass murderer Vladimir Putin.
