                               THE BUDGET

  (Mrs. SCHROEDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. SCHROEDER. Mr. Speaker, we have now seen a new kind of socialism 
introduced in this new budget. It is called socialism for the rich. You 
cut the middle class so you can cut the richest's taxes. Yes, everybody 
gets cuts, but there is a big difference between a tax cut that equals 
$20,000 a year for people making over $200,000 a year and the cuts that 
are going to come to the middle class, which means the average family 
is going to be straining to help mom and dad pay the additional 
Medicare costs, the kids paying additional student loan costs, kids 
paying additional school lunch costs.
  I do not think this is fair. I think the polls today show the 
Americans have figured it out. They do not think it is fair either. Let 
us go after some of those pet rocks in the budget that will put this 
budget in balance. We need it in balance, but not on the backs of the 
middle class so the fat cats can get one more tax break.
