This week, the national average cost for a gallon of gasoline hit an all-time high of $4.37. At this rate, American families will spend an extra $2,000 on gasoline this year, on top of already historic inflation. President Biden has tried to shift the blame on this issue, taking no responsibility for the crisis that he and his administration have created. Let's be clear. This is not transitory inflation. This is not the Putin price hike. This is what happens when you dismantle American energy independence--a war on fossil fuel. That is what the President has done, and that is why energy costs started rising long before the Russian invasion ever began. The solution to rising prices is more domestic production. President Biden would rather cling to his Green New Deal agenda than admit that his policies have failed. America is home to an abundance of energy resources. We have the solutions to this crisis right here under our feet. What we lack is an administration with political willpower to do what is right. Until that changes, we will continue to suffer the consequences of President Biden's anti-energy agenda. ____________________

It is your trust obligation. So you hear about this obligation. It is your trust corpus also, and language is a piece of that.
