we are not tapping back into those wells to get the gas and l back in from our soils and back into our homes. this is a crisis. we are facing grocery prices, eggs, milk, bread, centrals or doubling in cost. when many seniors not only with home heating bills are facing 47% and increase in electricity bill. a 15% increase in gas prices, this is not the america that my parents came to this country from china back in 1969. this is a country that is losing that dream of opportunity, prosperity. that is why i m running for this office. to turn this around, hold president biden and speaker pelosi in check. i will be a problem in 20 days. my first photo is to replace nancy pelosi. carley: it is coming down to the wire. they were so much energy behind
new york. thank you, steve. [applause] thank you, steve and thank you to dmi as well as congressmen for hosting us in his beautiful district today. i will tell you, i represent the district in upstate new york and a counter that looks like we are in pennsylvania today. what i hear from my constituents is people are struggling. families are struggling to make ends meet. whether you go to the grocery store, whether you are budgeting and preparation for the home heating bills that are skyrocketing this enter or whether you struggled this past year to fill up your tank of gas. people feel they are working harder than ever before, but they are falling further behind in the american people are smart. they know that it is a direct result of the failed policies of one party democrat rule in washington. and there is a better way. we are here to help. and this is our commitment to
economy while railing against the republicans. watch. when it comes to doing something about inflation, republicans said no. i don t want to hear from republicans. they blew up the definite it is. 10 million jobs have been created since i was been president. guess what? gas prices are down $1.30 a gallon. republicans hammering red hot inflation at the roll-out of their commitment to america agenda, which they say they will carry out should ney take back the house. can i afford to fill up my tank? can i afford the food, the milk? whether you go to the grocery store, whether you re bucketing for the home heating bills that are sky rocketing this winter. far left policies have left to record spending.
think, going forward this fall and winter with people s electric utility bills. home heating bills. giant increases are coming. so i don t think we re out of the woods at all on inflation right now. the other thing that is going on in the economy right now is that you are just seeing a slowdown in activity. manufacturing numbers were poor. housing numbers were poor. the small business numbers were poor. i am just worried about we re in the soft recession where the economy isn t growing. and if you want to bring tuition rates down, which we all do. that s one of the driving forces of inflation over the last 30 years, how is letting people off the hook for paying their loans helping the problem? it will just encourage universities to raise prices. i think universities should be held accountable for all the debt out there and they should be on the hook for this unpaid debt, not the taxpayer. dana: can i get your take on
what he says president biden and the west need to do in case of a russian invasion. the u.s. energy department announced the release of 30 million barrels of petroleum oil. president biden announced a plan to release up to 50 billion barrels and to ease the lack of oil supplies globally. most oil prices fell at that announcement but have returned. there is help coming to americans to pay their home heating bills. the government is adding $100 million to assist a program which helps families heat or cool their homes. it s the first installment of $500 million contained in an infrastructure package that was passed last year. experts say it s ab unprecedented level of funding. it will fall short of meeting all the needs. it was another volatile day on wall street you can see
