I thank my good friend and classmate, Representative Cammack. Madam Speaker, I rise today to address the Nation's self-inflicted energy crisis created by the Biden administration. The American people are feeling the strain of Biden's anti-energy policies that are causing costs to skyrocket. Americans are paying 61 percent more nationally for a gallon of gas and heating costs are projected to rise 54 percent this winter. What actions has Biden taken to undo the damage he has caused? Begged foreign countries to increase global output. Last week, he tapped into our Nation's emergency reserve. America will be less secure if we aren't properly stocked with petroleum. We will be at a disadvantage financially and defensively, making us increasingly dependent on countries like Russia and China. Sadly, Madam Speaker, these policies place an undue burden on Americans at a time when few can afford the extra expense. Inflated prices on daily necessities are a tax on low- and middle-class Americans, and Biden's continuous anti-energy policies impact virtually every part of American lives. Increasing domestic production of oil and gas would not only consistently keep prices low, but also boost our economy, create jobs, and preserve our energy security.
