In Michigan's First District, we are hunkering down for the usual long but beautiful winter season. We enjoy it, and we prepare for it. This year, that preparation is much more complicated. The supply chain crisis, labor shortages, and inflation have made our gas and groceries that much more expensive at a time when we can't necessarily afford it at that working-family level. In my district, we are truly feeling the negative impacts of this administration's failed policies. The White House and congressional Democrats seem to be living in a different reality, telling us that the President's agenda ``will not add to inflationary pressure.'' Mr. Speaker, the real risk here would be passing the Democrat's multitrillion-dollar tax and spend package. My colleagues in the House seem to be turning a blind eye to what Americans are actually experiencing. Make no mistake, spending trillions, while punishing the middle class and job creators, will make inflation worse. Mr. Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to oppose this legislation. ____________________
