“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, it is time for another real-time fact check. By the way, let's not conflate interest rates with inflation. They are two totally separate things. Let's talk about inflation. My friend from New Mexico said that inflation started during COVID. We know that when President Trump left office, inflation was at 1.4 percent. In June 2022, when Biden was in office, it was 9.1 percent. That is almost a record high.

Try arguing the difference between 9.1 percent inflation and 1.4 percent inflation. Good luck with that. We all know who is to blame: Biden and far-left, radical Democrats.

It is actually worse than 3.9 percent if you are reading into that statistic, Mr. Speaker. Again, this is quite amazing. Not only has President Biden totally botched the economy and Bidenomics, but he has repeatedly botched foreign affairs. Obama's own Defense Secretary, Robert Gates, once said that Joe Biden has managed to get every single foreign policy decision wrong in his entire career.…”
