In business, a 1-year review is customary. So let's review the Biden administration's first year by the numbers. As we tend to say in business, the numbers don't lie. Regarding the economy, there are 6 million Americans unemployed while 10 million jobs remain unfilled. The vast majority of small businesses are hiring, yet 95 percent report few applications. Inflation, Mr. Speaker, is at a 40-year high of 7 percent. Gas is up 50 percent, and it costs about $100 to fill up the gas tank on a pickup truck. Regarding national security, it is really no better. Two million illegals have crossed our border. Twice as much fentanyl is coming in; we have over 100,000--sadly--fatalities throughout the United States. And we have 125,000 troops preparing to invade Ukraine. We have 2-mile long lines for COVID testing in my district. Mr. Speaker, we are not going to hold our breath for corrective action to be taken by the Biden administration; they have stated how they plan to double down. It will be up to the American people to solve this problem come November. ____________________

I am just anxious about the idea of trying to improve the regulatory situation for our small businesses versus attempts to minimize or even gut them.
