Today marks the 1-year anniversary of President Biden's inauguration and 1 year under one- party rule. And I ask: Is America better off? The answer is no. Since President Biden took office, we have seen crisis after crisis. We are facing an economic crisis. President Biden and the Democrats had the tools to bring our economy back to the prepandemic records of 2019. But instead, we have massive supply shortages, labor shortages, and an inflation rate that has reached a 40-year high. Our country faces an energy crisis. We went from being energy independent to begging OPEC+ to produce more oil to offset the rising costs. This is because of anti-American energy policies enacted over the past year. Mr. Speaker, the list goes on: an education crisis as our youth continue to face uncertainty in the classroom; a national security crisis as our presence on the world stage has been weakened and our southern border remains vulnerable; and a crime crisis following dangerous defund the police rhetoric. Mr. Speaker, this is not the leadership America needs right now. In fact, it is far from it. ____________________
