                 REPUBLICANS ARE KEEPING THEIR PROMISES

  (Mr. CHABOT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, the budget plan the House will debate and 
vote on this week is one of the most important pieces of legislation 
this Congress will vote on for the next 2 years. It is important 
because this Federal Government cannot continue on the path it has been 
on for generations now.
  We can no longer afford massive social spending programs that have 
little impact on the problems they were created to solve. We can no 
longer afford to bury future generations under a mountain of debt.
  Mr. Speaker, the time has come to put to rest the idea the Government 
has all the answers and if we throw more money at the problems we can 
solve those problems.
  It is time to let American families keep more of what they earn. 
Republicans are keeping our promises. We are finally balancing the 
budget, not by raising taxes but by cutting spending.
