PRESIDENT TRUMP IS DELIVERING REAL RELIEF FOR FAMILIES

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 36 (Tuesday, February 24, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 36 (Tuesday, February 24, 2026)] [House] [Page H2268] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] PRESIDENT TRUMP IS DELIVERING REAL RELIEF FOR FAMILIES (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. Mr. Speaker, President Trump is delivering real relief for families in the form of lower costs for everyday items, creating jobs. Wages are growing faster than prices, putting more money into the pockets of Americans. Year over year, inflation fell over 2.4 percent in January, marking a new low. Core inflation has dropped to the lowest level in 5 years, underscoring progress made by Donald Trump. In the first Trump year, real earnings for workers have outpaced inflation by $1,400, earning back some of the $3,000 lost under Biden. Key prices are falling in January. Beef, eggs, and coffee prices all declined. The interest rates are down for home building. Gasoline prices are falling. Promises made, promises kept. In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism continues. Trump is reinstituting peace through strength, revealing war criminal Putin lies, insulting Trump and mocking Trump as we now see war criminal Putin entering into the fourth anniversary of the Putin invasion today, which he lied to his troops would be a 30-day special mission. Courageous Ukrainians with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will be victorious over mass murderer Vladimir Putin. ____________________
