BIDEN GAS PRICES BURDEN FAMILIES Speaker: Congressman Joe Wilson Publication: Congressional Record Date: 14 June 2022 Topic: President Joe Biden |
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, sadly, inflation has increased to over 8 percent, the highest rate in over 40 years. Now family budgets are draining at the pump. The over $5 per gallon for gas is the highest ever, caused by failing Biden policies. The American Energy Alliance with Stephen Moore on the Unleash Prosperity Hotline has identified over 100 initiatives enacted by Biden to restrict American oil and gas development. When Biden took office, gas was $2.39 a gallon. Now it has doubled. These extremist policies intentionally discourage gas usage without alternatives available to families. Declaring war on American energy subsidizes war criminal Putin's mass murder in Ukraine and allows Iran to proceed with nuclear weapons to fulfill ``Death to Israel. Death to America.'' America needs price relief through an all-of-the-above energy policy achieved by President Donald Trump. In conclusion, God bless our troops who have successfully protected America for 20 years in the global war on terrorism as it continues moving from the Afghanistan safe haven to America. Happy birthday, Donald Trump.
