mr. burton, will control the remainder of the time. mr. burton: thank you, mr. speaker. how much time remains? the speaker pro tempore: 33 minutes. mr. burton: thank you very much. mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks. mr. speaker, you know, a lot of times when people ask me, why do you have a special order when the chamber's not in session? and it doesn't appear anybody's paying any attention? we all have monitors back in our offices and many of our members who are not in attendance get a chance to hear what other members have to say during special orders and it also allows us, if people across the country happen to be paying attention to what's going on in washington, it gives them a chance to see and hear some of the issues that we're talking about. one of the things that really concerns me that i hope everybody's concerned about is the terrible spending problem we have here in washington and that spending problem and what that spending problem causes. you know, when you spend more money and you print more money and it gets into circula

mr. burton: mr.fed chairman ben bernanke said last week when he was giving a speech that we didn't really have to worry about inflation. that the long-term inflation problem would not get beyond 2%. so in case mr. bernanke or the administration's paying attention i'd like to read a few facts to them. the price of milk has gone up 38% since last year. the price of sugar is up 20% since last year. the price of corn is up 62% since last year. as of august beef prices grew 13% or 52 cents a pound since last year, the largest increase in the last seven years. gasoline is up 35% from a year ago, 98 cents a gallon. and the projected inflation rate is much, much higher than the administration or the fed says is going to occur. so i hope that we'll stop these keynesian policies, these socialistic policies, these big-spending policies that are killing the american people. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: are there further requests for one-minute speeches? the chair lays before the

mr. burton, i was wondering if you have seen the documentary called "gas land"? seen experts of it -- excerpts of it. they are putting water and all sorts of chemicals and people are being poisoned. guest: with all due respect, people are not being poisoned. 99% of the fluid in hydraulic fracturing are water. there are some chemicals, primarily to provide lubrication as it goes into the formation, but most of the more flamboyant aspects of the film are casing head gas and circuits gas, not natural gas that this escape a because of hydraulic fracturing. it is a high-impact film, but in terms of it being absolutely accurate in what its statements are, i would say there is substantial disagreement about that. host: jim heim says -- guest: well, 3 million barrels per day is nothing to sneeze at when we are using 20 million. approximately 20 million barrels per day. if we can increase industrial production an additional 3 million and a fashion that is cost-effective, i would say it is worth doing. i would say that is understating the case that we could probably go sub
