I thank Mr. Davidson for his leadership on trying to correct this egregious policy coming from the Biden administration. The American people are suffering today. They are suffering from Bidenflation, 40-year high inflation. They are suffering under higher grocery prices. They are suffering under high gas prices, higher utility energy prices, all as a result of this President's policies. They are suffering under the massive inflation that has caused housing prices to rise, and then we have complicated that with raising interest rates to make homeownership out of reach for most Americans.
