Mr. Speaker, President Biden's energy crisis is the Christmas gift that nobody asked for. The national average for a gallon of gas reached $3.39 as of last Friday, the most Americans have paid at the pump since the Obama-Biden administration. Home heating costs are projected to rise as much as 54 percent for some households this winter. House Democrats are even pushing a ``heat your home tax'' just in time for the holidays. If Americans thought Thanksgiving cost an arm and a leg, just wait until President Biden's failed policies torpedo Christmas entirely. At this rate, the only things Americans will find under their Christmas trees and in their stockings are more bills, not presents. Mr. Speaker, this lunacy must end. ____________________
