                         A COMMON SENSE BUDGET

  (Mr. DeLAY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. DeLAY. Mr. Speaker, only the Democrats would call this budget 
extremist. Only the Democrats would say taking 1 percent out of a $9 
trillion spending spree by this government actually designed by them is 
extremist, one penny out of $1.
  The Kasich budget is a common sense document that mandates a smarter, 
more efficient government. It says that we in Washington should spend a 
little less so that the American working family can spend a little more 
to help them achieve their dreams.
  Some Democrats find this burden to be unbearable. They say that we 
will not be able to find the savings. They say that we are extremist. 
They say we should not give working families tax relief.
  I urge the opponents of this budget to justify their opposition to 
the American people. Tell them that you cannot save a penny on the 
dollar. Tell them that they do not deserve tax relief today. I urge my 
colleagues to support the common sense budget.
