“I thank the gentleman from Florida for sharing that information. It is part of the job that we need to be doing and what we can do to uncover and for a thorough analysis. Mr. Speaker, I will next yield to my colleague from the great State of California (Mr. LaMalfa). Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, as we contemplate and navigate our way through these hard times, the difficult economy with, indeed, Bidenomics working the way it has been the last couple years for us in this country, we have to get to what is the root cause and what is the route out of this? It really comes down to getting back to our roots, getting back to the source of our economy. Where does the economy come from, and how do we make things reasonably priced again and affordable for our countrymen? If you look here, they are all tied together when you get right down to it. Cost of electricity up over 28 percent, food over 20 percent, residential rent nearly 20 percent. What are the building blocks that help us to thrive and help us get back out of this mess? Well, I will start. There are a few items that I work quite a bit on in my committee work, back at home and here in D.C., as well. Forestry is right at the beginning of that. What do you get from good forestry: Healthy forests and an economy that comes from our rural areas of the country that are suffering so much due to shutdowns, regulations, and inactivity by the U.S. Forest Service.…”
