             KILLING THE AMERICAN DREAM OF HIGHER EDUCATION

  (Mr. HILLIARD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HILLIARD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to protest another one of the 
Republican plans to kill the American dream.
  I am speaking of the budget that was rammed through last week. This 
budget gutted the Student Loan Program, taking away the hopes and 
dreams of young Americans who will not be able to go to college. The 
budget plan is bad. The Republicans have betrayed the future of America 
by getting rid of student loans in order to cut taxes for their rich 
friends.
  To finance this despicable tax cut for the rich, they have sold out 
the young people of America. There are some great kids in Alabama and 
elsewhere in this fantastic country who now will never be able to reach 
their full potential. We have enticed them and lured them to sleep with 
dreams of a bright future, and the Republicans have turned those dreams 
into nightmares.
  Wake up, Alabama. Wake up, America.
