                    REPUBLICAN BUDGET MERRY-GO-ROUND

  (Mr. HILLIARD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)

[[Page H953]]

  Mr. HILLIARD. Mr. Speaker, the Republicans in this House are 
continuing to delay our Nation's budget. Their leader now says it will 
not be ready until May, over 3 months past the legal deadline.
  It is the radical Republicans in Congress who are always saying that 
Congress must adhere to the rules which govern everyone, until the 
rules pertain to them. Then, like spoiled little kids, they make their 
own rules to suit themselves or they will not play the game. I hope 
that they realize that this Republican merry-go-round must soon end. 
The American people do not want Republicans to play games with their 
lives like Republicans did when they closed down this government.
  Mr. Speaker, it is high time that your party act like grownups and 
follow the rules. The budget submitted by the President is a balanced 
budget. Where is the Republican budget?
