Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight the disastrous impact Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have had on our economy. Inflation has risen as high as 20.2 percent. Eggs are up 46.8 percent. Gas is up 49.9 percent. Bread is up 24.3 percent. Sugar is up 31.4 percent. The list goes on and on. In just the past year, 1.2 million U.S.-born citizens lost their jobs to illegal aliens crossing our wide-open southern border. Everyday essentials, from food to fuel, have seen outrageous price hikes. Families in Iowa are paying over $13,000 more annually just to get by. Real wages have plummeted. Interest rates are at a 23-year high. Credit card debt has now surpassed $1 trillion for the first time, and our national debt has crossed $35 trillion. Instead of finding practical solutions, this administration thinks the solution is to print more money and to spend more by the government. The American people deserve better than Kamala Harris and Joe Biden's failed policies. {time} 1215 Recognizing 1-Year Anniversary of Hamas Terrorist Attack on Israel
