Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to address an issue that is hitting families in every corner of our country—the unyielding rise of inflation.
This month, the Consumer Price Index climbed to 3.8 percent, and that number isn't just a statistic. It shows up every time you fill your gas tank, check out of the grocery store, or open your utility bill.
The pressure on your paycheck is real, and it is growing.
Hardworking people are stretching every dollar. But, instead of tackling this affordability crisis head-on, my colleagues here in the House continue to bring forward legislation that does nothing to lower costs. We are continually obsessed with culture war and emotional issues, choosing personal political gain over good governance, and ignoring the prevailing crisis that is facing our country.
