I thank my friend from Wisconsin for yielding on this very important subject. I was unfortunate to catch COVID a couple weeks ago, and I think that the Vitamin D supplements I was taking in addition to Vitamin C, in addition to zinc definitely helped to minimize the length and the severity of the illness. Madam Speaker, today marks 1 year since Joe Biden was sworn in as President, meaning it has been a year since Democrats took unified control of the Federal Government. And at this point there is no denying that Americans are worse off today than they were 12 months ago. Consumer prices have risen 7 percent since Democrats won congressional majorities and the White House, marking a 40-year high rate of inflation. Gas prices reached $3.28 a gallon last month, a 49.6 percent increase from a year ago. 1.7 illegal immigrants were encountered unlawfully crossing the border in FY21, the highest number ever recorded. Sixteen major U.S. cities set new homicide records this past year. And just last week, COVID hospitalizations hit a record high. Thirteen American servicemembers tragically lost their lives, and the Taliban captured Afghanistan as a result of this administration's disastrous withdrawal plan. Madam Speaker, Democrats are certainly setting records, just not the records that they want to be breaking. Their party has utterly failed the American people.

It costs more than 2 cents to make a penny—a waste of taxpayer money we can't afford. I fully support President Trump's decision to halt penny production at the U.S. Treasury. Every penny saved is a win for taxpayers!
