congratulations of being the national champions once again. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: under the speaker's apolicy the gentleman from arizona, mr. schweikert, is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the minority leader.

mr. schweikert: does the gentleman have a one minute? i get myself in trouble for coming here with a coffee cup, so i need to pay my penance there. mr. speaker, this is going to be one more time and going to be difficult and i apologize for you being the poor person in the chair when we do this, but i'm going to walk through inflation. and i don't think we actually understand the damage, the economic violence that is happening to the poor, working poor, economic future of our country, the democrats get the blame on this one and we are going to walk through the facts,

the mechanisms and also maybe a couple of solutions, but first, this is going to be a tough one. so if you like economics, stay tuned. if you don't like math and economics, i suggest you get away from this presentation as fast as possible. another weird aside because i get this all the time, the chamber is empty but probably on 100,000 televisions. and that is in my ways who we are communicating is to think differently. so first off, functionally one year ago, i think it was march 21, 2021, the democrats did one of their huge stimulus bills and not a single republican voted for it and that is the moment

you can track the explosion in inflation. it was the classic case. i'm stealing larry summers quote from a couple of days ago, there was a piling of dry kindling and the democrats took a kerr seen-soaked log and put it on the kindling and boom. and economists are saying we may have inflation for an entire decade. do you remember when treasury secretary yellen has become a partisan would say to us, it's transtower. they are no longer saying that. they basically admitted they screwed up. and a lot of people are getting hurt right now and i'm going to show over and over, if you're a

middle class person, if you are part of the working poor, you are poorer today than 14 months ago when the democrats took power. you may all remember this, this is from before, before the stimulus bill from a year ago, larry summers, not a big republican -- come on, larry summers has always been one of the less favored economists except when he said don't do this. don't do this, you have pumped so much cash into the system. the left leaves in a model of consumption. the right believes in productivity, make more things, supply side. they decided to stimulate

consumption and hand out lots of money and now you are poorer today than you were a year ago. and the left's own sort of biggest voice, larry summers, basically begged them not to do it, but there is a policy around here, buy your votes, spend lots of taxpayer money and even today, "wall street journal" has an editorial featuring his comments that he expects a complete severe recession now. we are going we're going to pay a price for my brothers and sisters on the left basically failing their basic economics class. so let's actually walk through. here's basically the chart. and you can see the inflationary expectations when the democrats took power when they actually passed their -- power, when they actually passed their big stimulus bill and off to the

races. my community in january had a 10.9% year over year inflation. some of our model right now says this month and next month we're going to be having inflationary spikes and i need you to have a concept. so everyone's fretting right now, oh, the federal serve going to raise interest rates. you know, it's 2%. they might go a half a percent. if you go back to the early, early 1980's and the paul volcker time, they had to raitz the federal -- had to raise the federal funds rate equal to inflaition. if fod -- inflation. if today the actual inflation rate as of this moment is not 6% but closer to 8%, 8.1%, are you really for a federal finneds rate at 8%? -- funds rate at 8%?

because that's what it takes. because understand, if you're borrowing money today at, you know, federal funds rate 2%, 2.5%, and inflation really is closer to 8%, that's a huge, huge gap. those need to be in alignment. because you have a negative actual interest rate. when you're borrowing below what inflation is costing, if the dollar gets -- goes to this value every day and you're paying this, you have substantial negative interest rates, what do you think is going to happen? so back to the reality. this is what we've done. actually, i take that back. we didn't do it, the republicans didn't do it, the democrats did this. and they did it without a single, without a single republican vote.

is this line -- this line functionally is newer yk. and -- is your income. and, yes, it's had a little bit of movement up. but this is your purchasing power. because your income has become worth less. in january when we got the 2021 basic data, the mean in our country was about 2.5% poorer. their purchasing power, they became poorer. and inflation's only increased since then. the reality of it is really bad economics end up hurting people. and you'll notice it's this white house an absolutely, i mean, almost laughable -- well, the putin's inflation. of course it was going on well before putin invaded ukraine. well, the big oil companies. except it was democrat policies that created the natural garcia

shortages -- gas shortages last year. they're desperate to run away from the responsibility of what they have done. and it's not part of this board deck. but repeatedly i've come to this floor and tried to walk through what are the two things, if you want to kick the working poor's head in economically, what do you do? well, inflation. right? and here's another article right now from "the washington post." a truly conservative publication, right? fed officials, inflation falls hardest on poorer families. so the excuse saying inflation wasn't hurting the poor -- i mean, come on. we're back to reality. you're killing, you're crushing economically the poor. so number one is inflation. number two, if you actually look at the data on those folks we put in that category of the working poor, they're individuals who often didn't finish high school or they

didn't go to college. they sell their labors. do what the left has done this last year. open up the border. have millions, millions of people cross the border, come into the country, who offer similar skill sets where they basically -- their economic value is they're going sell their labor. and now you take the population we love and care about, but we're crushing that working poor and saying, hey, you get to compete with a couple million new residents who are going to sell their labor. the policy of the last 14 months has just been brutal. and you see it in the data. income inequality has gotten worse since the democrats have take be -- food insecurity has gotten worse. minority populations, the incredible games that happened in 2018 and 2019, in the first quarter of 2020, before the pandemic, have been lost.

so if you actually care, if you actually say, i care about economic growth, economic growth is moral, would you keep doing policies that keep hurting people? i mean, it's math. at some point -- i would be elated if the left said, ok, they accept that their model doesn't work. basically has never worked. and instead of sort of spending massive amounts of money, we're going to talk about the danger the country's now in because of the incredible levels of spending. and how fragile -- there's this fragility concept of interest rates and debt we're going to walk through a bit. if the democrats really cared, they would basically steal the supply side economics, call it their own, they've done that before on other things and said, we care about poor people. we're actually going to help them. but you can't do it this way. every single day the democrats have had absolute control,

people have gotten poorer. and once again sort of -- there was one democrat that voted no. so, you know, i'll give that person credit. zero republicans voted yes. but 220-211. this is what the -- they call the american rescue plan, except now we need to be rescued from the democrats' american rescue plan. some of these slides are going to get a little thick. this is going to be -- and i apologize and wave at me if i'm talking too fast. purchasing power of $100. we talk about inflation but most people don't really process what it means. so let's actually sort of

pretend that the baseline inflation that we were at, we believe we're at this last quarter, about 7.4%, if you had that for 10 years, so if i gave you $100 today, 10 years ago, what would the purchasing power of that $100 be? it functionally is about 46 cents -- or excuse me, $46. you've lost more than half of it. you basically -- your value, your wealth got cut in half. now, if you're on the rich side, you own lots of real estate, you have lots of assets, inflation basically -- those assets become a hedge. but if you're the young family, if you're someone that's retired, you're living on a pension, or you're living on your savings or you're trying to get a family started, every day being able to participate in the american dream gets harder. there's a reason inflation is one of the most destructive

forces in the world. in societies. because it is the ultimate spreader of income inequality, those who have assets, you're basically indemnified from inflation. but if you don't have a bunch of assets, you are this. this is what happens to you. your dollar at the current rate of inflation will be cut in half in a decade. this is what the policies of this place from the last 14 months, and now we're seeing models saying, it may not be at 7.4%, some are saying it could be 4%, 5%. i'm a little more worried. but some of the best experts are now saying inflation now may be structurally built in for this next decade. do you understand the damage

that is going to do to the american people? and just some of the different slides trying to understands what the trajectory is right now. you know, we're basically looking at what was projected to be some of the inflationary trends. current line basically is starting to look at about an 8%, 8.4%. i actually think this year -- remember, last year -- oh, it's transitory. oh, it's just -- it's a seasonal spike. it's a supply chain spike. now we see the studies that say, hey, no, half of the inflation from last year -- so if you're my community, 10.9%, year over year, was policy from this body. it wasn't federal reserve. it was policy from this body.

the other half, we'll call it supply chain. but then you got to read the rest of the article. it basically breaks down that the stresses in the supply chain were workers, misallocation, those things, that also happen to be substantially related to federal policy. this is an occasion where the federal reserve may be a sinner of keeping interest rates too low too long. but congress one year ago, with their american rescue plan, not a single republican voted for it, decided to throw kerosene and matches when their own democratic economists when larry summers was saying, don't do it. congratulations, made america poorer. now, there is this concept out there called a waif price spiral. and this is really important to get your head around. because there's those out there that think the federal reserve

will raise interest rates a little bit and some of the containerships will come in, supply chain and everything will be wonderful. that's not the math. there's this concept of, well, prices went up so i need to be paid more. but if i need to be paid more, the business to keep its margins needs to raise its prices. well, if they raise their prices, i need to be paid more because the business needs to keep their margins and i need to be able to afford the goods and services. and you start this sort of ratchet, it's referred to as a wage and price spiral. and it becomes this really unholy circle where wakes and demand -- wages and demand pass the -- make a circle. the firm needs to keep its margins to stay in business, then you have higher prices, you have higher inflation, and you chase each other. and one of the only ways economists have to break this, you have two choices. you do a bunch of policies very

quickly to spike productivity. well, that would mean my brothers and sisters on the left who basically walk away from their economic theory and say they've just become supply ciders and we're going to do everything we can to make more stuff. or we go into recession. and a number of economists basically now say, we're heading to recession. and larry summers actually thinks it's a pretty tough recession coming. it's a really miserable, horrible thing to do to people who are just getting out of pandemic, just trying to get their lives back together. you hit them with inflation, flood the borders, you push up crime, you push up fentanyl deaths in my area, and now you're going to run the country into a recession. yea team. and this is from last week and i'm told actually some of these numbers have gotten worse this

week. but we didn't have time to print a new board. citibank basically now says 25% chance of a recession before the end of the year. goldman, they were at 27.5% last week. i'm told some of these numbers are now up. economists like larry lindsey i think is predicting before the end of this month we actually start to hit the very first steps of a recessionary cycle. now remember, if prices have gone up faflter than your wages -- faster than your wages so, every day you're getting a little bit poorer, you begin to pull back on your purchases. the mold basically says, that's what kicks off -- model basically says, that's what kicks off a recessionary cycle. when you did your classes in

high school, inventory goes up too high and you stop buying stuff and you bleed down your inventories. there's such a thing as an inflationary driven recessionary cycle because all of a sudden you don't have the same purchasing power and you actually saw some of the consumer data hitting last week that all of a sudden consumers are starting to change consumers are trying to change their behavior. larry linds a may have it right these policies are paying off what larry summers. i didn't think i would be saying larry summers got it right. now you go into what are some of the other stressors that inflation doesn't taper off. inflation is chasing too few

goods and services. you can have the federal reserve basically bleed off the inventory and other holdings and can raise interest rates and squeezees down the money supply. or you could make more stuff, but it would require our brothers and sisters on the left, they run washington, they have the presidency, house and senate, to do things to incentivize our brothers and sisters not to retire early, for young people to get in the work force, for some of the pop you layings that are policies of covid where we forced so many working families and working moms out of the labor force 2082019 and 2020 and wages of

women of color and the policy of shutting down the schools and the economy, those are the pop you layings that have been just crushed. unless we get back to levels of participating in the economy, you can't get to productivity. could you and i come together as people on the left and right and say we are going to incentive advise our brothers and sisters who retired to come back in and come back into the labor force because we need to make more stuff. this is not complicated economics. it is a lot of complicated decisions and will require the left to walk away. the other thing and i show this slide to point out what is happening demographically. it is an opportunity but really tough. we have a situation here if you

look at where we are at, you come to the 10-year marks, into the decade, we functionally are heading at parts where 20%, 22% of the population at the end of the decade are 65 and older. ok. what are the lynches we would have -- leveraginges to environs shurnlg to encourage those to stay in the labor force. we have done some things in regards to the social security tax penalties, but could we do more than that if this labor shortage is going to continue the inflationary cycle and you have the choice of making more stuff. what are the levers you can pull to incentive advise capital

businesses and brothers and sisters to get back into the labor force. there's also other reasons and this does tie together, you understand how fragile, this is a basic chart showing how soon social security and the medicare part a trust fund, most of medicare, a is in a trust fund and they are out of money. 2027 medicare part a is modeled to be empty and this number is actually sooner because of what we did last year. social security trust fund is out of money i think in 2032,

2031. more of our brothers and sisters in the labor force, these numbers go out, if you have productivity. but there is a small problem, as inflation kicks off and the cola mechanisms and medicare, health care costs keep going up, we are not absolutely sure what happens if we don't get more labor force participation, more people in the economy working and all the costs here, these numbers may -- bankruptcy running out of money. so the brain trust around hearsays hey, let's take the medicare benefit -- let's make it 60 because that way we can have the bankruptcy of it happen much sooner. but it's good politics. great virtue signaling.

maybe good getting re-elected. it is horrible economics. and to understand how bad the economics have been, this is the slide i made last year to understand what 2021 was like from a fiscal standpoint. the punch line and you look at these numbers, we were borrowing over $47,000 every second. board money, every second we were borrowing $47,000. you wonder why we -- they kicked off inflation. you wonder why your country from a financial standpoint is so fragile. and i'm going to show you a slide here at the end that if

the two points higher interest rates hold for a couple of decades, at the end of those couple decades, every dime of revenue, receipts into the federal government covers interest costs. does anyone around here own a calculator? and don't give me, oh, we need more tax receipts, post-tax reform, you had number two and number three highest revenue years in u.s. history adjusted for inflation, real receipts adjusted for inflation and you notice even last year was the highest ever and the only reason these two were number one and number two, 2014 had a weird payback. so the folks here that don't tell the truth about math and

said you did tax reform at the end of 2017 but we grew the economy at a break-neck pace and tax receipts came screaming in particularly from overseas, unlike what was predicted by the life, oh, it's a give-away. remember, the new tax code that we are still under today was more progressive than the old one, the rich are paying a higher percentage in federal income taxes than they were before we did tax reform at the end of 2017. but that was a supply-side type of tax reform encouraging to make more stuff to provide more opportunity, and it worked. but it wasn't a give-away model that the left embraces and therefore they repeatedly lie

about it. and yes, think about this, even with all the horrible things that went on, 20 20r, a slight reduction in total tax revenue resets. 2021 highest ever. we broke through $4 trillion. our problem is we took that and spent a couple trillion on top of that and on top of all the cash that came in through taxes. and all that borrowing, all that borrowing, you start to realize the fraud, the danger, because you see this whole section here,

that green? that's magic money. that is functionally the federal reserve buying our debt. so they basically lay a claim on banking deposits, a theoretical claim, and buy it. so when you functionally have $5 trillion thrown in, do you blame the federal reserve or you plame us who basically are running these massive deficits and debt? the federal reserve is like the family member to an alcoholic family that keeps buying beer. they basically have enabled our bad policy decisions. if we had to pay the actual price for a lot of this crazy spending by by doing what they did here and the next time you have someone say, it's japan.

japan is down here, china is here, federal reserve and this is functionally individuals and we are going to show some of the slides that really worry me about what's the appetite for people to buy a u.s. bond to keep financing this crazy debt and deficit and the fact that every day the bond is actually worth less money. you buy a 10-year bond today, the post i saw it was sitting about 2.5. if it's true that at this moment, inflation may be running from 6 to 8. how much you're losing every single day in your value. people are taking a negative rate of return. that isn't going to go on long

and you hear the discussion of inverted yield curves. i was going to do a whole presentation on yield curves and the staff looked at me in terror so i'm not going to do it to you. theoretically if i loan you money in a short-term, i should be willing to take a lower interest rate than if i loan you money longer. i should ask for more premium because more unknowns, black swans can happen. when it inverts, it says i expect something bad in the short-term, but eventually it will work itself out and i'm going to give you longer term money at a better price. two things should send you weird messages. the short-term is inverted and

comes back but at the end of the curve, longer term, people are getting very worried about those 20 years, 30 years of long-term u.s. debt. you are starting to see it in the actual pricing of our debt and that should be signaling you some very scary messages. and a chart like this -- and this one -- i'm not sure it is completely accurate yet. the numbers are actually worse. we are right here. we are working on the 2023 budget and they are trying to tell you, hey, be prepared, we are going to be well over trillion, eight years from now, interest is going to be trillion bucks and that is assuming the interest rate is nowhere high enough. we were already heading at the

end of this decade to trillion dollars a year. that was just the interest cost. it's not what we bore today, but all the other debt that has to be refinanced. because the bond that comes due, we don't pay it off. we sell more debt and refinance it. if you have 100 billion debt, there may be $300 billion on top of that that is the weighted average daily timing. functioning in eight years, interest, interest is a trillion dollars a year. and the hits keep getting worst.

this is before the craziness of the spending. we were already scheduled and this board was printed, i think in 2021, so, it missed trillions of dollars of additional borrowing and spending. we were already scheduled to bore $112 trillion. three-quarters of it was medicare, one quarter of it is social security and the rest of it is in balance and if inflation drives medical costs up and inflation changes, these numbers get dramatically worse, but there's a scam here. you're retired. you have savings. you're getting your medicare. your social security. but your savings as this

inflation continues every day is worth a little less money. who gets that value? if inflation is -- you hear the term eating away at your value, where does that value go? it basically goes to this side of the leger, when you're paying back those bonds, that debt. you're paying it back now with less valuable dollars. so it's basically a transfer from everyone that saved, particularly our retirement population. 22% of the population is 65 or older at the end of the decade. the population that has saved, they become poorer and that money functionally is transferred to being able to pay back our debt. but now you get to pay it back with inflated dollars. it's a secret backdoorway to

backdoor way to strip savings, older americans, of their wealth. and move it back to the crazy amounts of borrowing that are going on. so now structurally, it really affects our retired population, they get poorer. but it's also a way to pay back the amazing amount of debt with what you call inflated dollars. less valuable dollars. and it's a wink-wink, nod-nod and there are some economists, particularly here in washington, who will actually say, don't say it out loud, schweikert, but we almost need to do this because there's no way this body is capable of doing the policies that would create the level of growth and economic participation that would raise everyone's wealth, everyone's prosperity and therefore the tax receipts and the less need for social entitlements and social

transfer programs. we could do really good policy for really good economics or we can just inflate our way out of part of the crushing debt. and it looks like democrat policies have decided we're going to inflate our way, because that's what's happened here. that's the decision that's been made. this chart is a little hard to get our head around. but what's important about it is to get our sense of how fast, since, 20 -- since january, 2021, the borrowing through the federal reserve is going. and this one basically says, since january, 2021, there's been another $2 trillion, $2.5 trillion transferred from federal reserve, absorbing u.s. sovereign debt. by a clis -- basically they're putting magic money to help us keep financing our spending. and that's also money because of our fiscal decisions, inflation

didn't come out of nowhere. this is the third time i'm going to say it. even democratic economists were warning the majority here that this was coming. and they decided to kick americans in the head. so think about this. president biden, speaker pelosi made a decision and so far in president biden's term, we functionally have well over $2.5 trillion of additional debt piled on. it's a remarkable record. at a time when we were coming out of the covid distaupia -- dystopia, we pile on another $2.5 trillion, plus created all sorts of other unfunded liabilities. and the next slide is really important to get our heads

around. there's this concept of fragility. if it's true, if it's true, we may be heading into not just -- because we all agree the fraud of saying the inflation is transitory, ok, that con job has now come to an end. now it's -- the left is going to say, it's putin's inflation, it's big oil inflation. americans aren't stupid. and i'm particularly blessed. i represent one of the best educated districts in all of america. so i have freaky smart people in my phoenix, scottsdale district. and they get this. but there's this concept of fragility. what happens to the country if interest rates are just a bit higher than we've modeled? do you have a sense of what happens? and this board is from a year

ago, when we did the math. if interest rates are just two points, 2%, which is already happening, 2% higher than c.b.o.'s baseline, congressional budget office's baseline, functionally in 29 years every dollar, every dollar of tax receipts, tax income, tax -- however you want to call it, in the ways and means we call it receipts, every dollar just pace the interest bill -- pays the interest bill. it buys nothing. there's no more money for education, space travel, there's no more money for medicaid, medicare, because all we're paying is interest. this is the fragility. this is how dangerous you've made this country's economics. by borrowing so much money and then screwing up the economics.

so my point of this 45 minutes of rambling -- inflation, very, very dangerous. there are policy decisions, those policy decisions will require the democrats to walk away from their orthodoxy. they'll have to admit they've been worshiping a false economics god. and join us in doing things that are actually good for society, good for poor people, good for the working poor, good for the middle class. and dear god, hopefully we're not too late. because if larry summers is correct, that we're actually going to go into a pretty harsh recession, you want to kick people in the head, you want to destroy the middle class, you want to make it so it takes years to get back so normality, and now you have economists saying the inflation may be with us for a decade?

even if republicans take back congress and then take back the white house, it could be a decade before we repair the damage that this body did in 14 months. and with that, mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to section 11-b of house resolution 188, the house stands adjourned until 10:00 a.m. tomorrow forng hour debate and noon for legislative business.
