                          WHERE IS THE BUDGET?

  (Mrs. SCHROEDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SCHROEDER. Mr. Speaker, well, the tax cuts got passed, the 
circus came to the Hill, and, guess what, we still do not have a 
budget.
  We do not have any budget because now they have got to do the tough 
part, the spending part, and there is nothing really there they can cut 
except Medicare. They do not want to cut Medicare.
  You know, we have tried last year, for the last 2 years, with the 
President, to reform the whole health care system. Boy, we did not get 
any help on that side.
  They promised they could do this. This was going to be so easy. Now 
you hear everybody, saying, ``Hey, where is the President, where is the 
President? He ought to do this.''
  Well, he was here last time. He was trying to do it. We were trying 
to do it with him. We got no help there.
  Let us get this budget out. Let us see what we are going to do to get 
this thing balanced, and let us stop seeing the whining for help from 
the White House.
