                       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.
