                 HOW DO REPUBLICANS BALANCE THE BUDGET?

  (Mr. STUPAK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STUPAK. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow we begin another debate on the 
budget. The issue is how will we balance the budget? Who will be helped 
and who will be hurt?
  The answer is now clear. The Republican majority wants to help only 
the richest 1 percent in this country, the millionaires, the 
billionaires. The Republican majority wants to help the military-
industrial complex by buying more toys like the B-2 bomber that the 
Pentagon told us we did not even need.
  Mr. Speaker, how do Republicans balance the budget? By giving the 
wealthiest a tax break and buying more toys for the Pentagon.
  How do Republicans pay for this? By cutting the programs that will 
help out our seniors, our veterans, our students; by cutting Medicare, 
by cutting Medicaid, by cutting the veterans' programs, by cutting $10 
billion out of financial student assistance programs and by cutting 
social security.
  The issue is, who will we help and who will we hurt? Will it be the 
millionaires and billionaires that will be helped? Will it be the 
seniors and the veterans and the students that will be hurt? I and the 
Democrats will stand with the seniors, the veterans and the students.
