HOW NOT TO CUT THE BUDGET
(Mr. BROWN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute.)
Mr. BROWN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, first there was school lunches.
Republicans voted to cut school lunches to pay for tax cuts for
American's wealthiest citizens. Then Republicans proposed cuts in
student loans to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest special interests.
Now Republicans want to cut Medicare services. They want to increase
premiums, and copayments and deductibles.
Mr. Speaker, I am a deficit hawk. I want to balance the budget. But
we cannot balance the budget, we should not balance the budget, by
cutting taxes for the rich, by building star wars, and increasing
military spending,
[[Page H4555]] and by cuts in Medicare, in school lunches, and in
student loans.
