American families are feeling the immense strain that has been caused by President Biden's economic crisis. From the gas pumps to the grocery store, prices for even the most basic commodities are skyrocketing to obscene levels. The cost of gasoline is up almost 43 percent. The cost of beef is up almost 12 percent. The cost of propane is up almost 23 percent. Even the prices of used cars are up almost 45 percent. Madam Speaker, increased spending by the Federal Government is not a remedy to solve this crisis, nor is a $3.5 trillion spending bill that will cripple the American economy even further. Congress must get its fiscal house in order. ____________________
