Mr. OLSZEWSKI. Madam Speaker, it is now the fourth time I have come to this floor with a poster to count the days. We are now 200 days into this session of Congress and, sadly, I return with the same message. I wish it weren't so.

I have scoured our voting record, trying in vain to find one vote, just one, that would lower costs for American families. The closest I found was a bill that would improve price transparency for concert tickets, but nothing to actually address price gouging.

When it comes to the most basic of necessities, there hasn't been one serious effort from House leadership to lower costs. Instead, President Trump and this GOP majority are doing the opposite, driving up costs through tariffs. The big, ugly budget makes things even worse by ending food programs and causing both healthcare costs and utility bills to skyrocket.

I again call on House leadership to bring legislation to this floor that delivers meaningful relief to all our constituents.
