      LEAVE OUR CHILDREN THE AMERICAN DREAM, NOT THE AMERICAN DEBT

  (Mr. BOEHNER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. BOEHNER. Mr. Speaker, do you see this? This is a piggy bank. Not 
a normal piggy bank that we would expect most American children to 
have. This is a piggy bank the American children are going to need to 
have to fill with $187,000 over their lifetime. It is going to be for 
their share of the interest on the national debt if we do not balance 
the budget soon.
  We are imprisoning our children, and theirs, by continuing to pile 
more and more debt on their backs. What we want to do for our children, 
and for their children, is to leave them the American dream, not the 
American debt.
  Mr. Speaker, the President offers no plan. The President offers no 
leadership It is unfortunate that the President has left nothing but 
our choice to bring this Government to a halt to save the future for 
our children.
