                       PUT BLAME WHERE IT BELONGS

  (Mr. EWING asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. EWING. Mr. Speaker, the time has long passed when we should have 
balanced our budget. The last speaker is absolutely right, enough is 
enough. I do not see any sense in what is happening.
  At the White House, the President has refused consistently to live up 
to his agreement to balance the budget in 7 years with CBO numbers. All 
he sent us is a budget that is $200 billion a year out of balance. It 
is time we get to it.
  The House Republicans have pledged to put everything on the table, to 
discuss everything, but we cannot get meaningful discussions with the 
White House.
  Let us put the blame where it belongs. Let us put the pressure where 
it belongs. Mr. President, enough is enough.
