The Impact of Inflation

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, Six hundred and seventy-seven dollars.

That's how much more--per month--Georgians are spending on everyday goods due to Biden's inflation crisis.

That's gas. Groceries. Retirement. That's money people need to live their lives.

Instead, they're using it to subsidize Biden's far-left agenda.

And unlike the President, the American people can't just change the definition of a word and watch their problems go away.

Regardless of what the White House's latest blog says, we are headed towards a recession. In fact, we may already be in one.

The single mom trying to feed her family and the trucker paying more for diesel are feeling the sting of this Administration's policies daily.

Recession isn't just a word to them--it's a lived reality that leads to lost income, jobs, opportunities, and even hope.

Where the White House sees the so-called ``strength'' of the economy, my constituents see weakness.

That weakness is emblematic of a failed President who is willing to look us in the eye and say that we are not in a recession, that the $4.30 you're paying for gas is a gift.

He's wrong.

Washington Democrats' one-party rule is robbing Americans blind.

We know how to fix this! Unleash American energy independence, rein in the runaway spending, and pass a budget, which was supposed to happen months ago, so that the American people know what their elected officials value and how their tax dollars are being spent.

It's time to put the American people first.
