Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the House Democrats' efforts to lower rising costs that threaten and burden our American families. Putin's cruel war in Ukraine is rising prices across our Nation and the world, but Democrats are taking decisive action. Last week, we passed the Lower Food and Fuel Costs Act. This bill will reduce our dependence on foreign fertilizer production, strengthen competition in the meat and poultry sector, and strengthen our supply chain. It will also expand access to cleaner Unleaded 88 gas that costs an average of 40 cents less per gallon. These steps for Democrats will go a long way, Mr. Speaker, to protect American families from Putin's inflation. Yet, some extreme MAGA Republicans continue to side with greedy corporations and billionaires instead of hardworking families. I call on our Republican colleagues to work with us in our efforts to lower costs for all families across America. The time to act is now. ____________________
