                       NO BALANCE IN BUDGET BILL

  (Ms. DeLAURO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, today, the Gingrich budget comes to the 
floor. The Republicans like to call it the balanced budget plan but 
there is nothing balanced about Speaker Gingrich's bill.
  There is nothing balanced about raiding Medicare to pay for a tax cut 
to the wealthy.
  There is nothing balanced about slashing education while eliminating 
the corporate minimum tax.
  There is nothing balanced about gutting environmental protection in 
order to placate corporate polluters.
  There is nothing balanced about raising taxes on people making under 
$30,000 a year while cutting taxes for people making $500,000.
  There is nothing balanced about the Gingrich budget, it takes from 
our most vulnerable citizens to lavish gifts upon the most well to do. 
to quote an old song, if the Republicans want the President to sign 
their budget: Try a little tenderness.
