                           SHOW US YOUR CUTS

  (Ms. DeLAURO asked and was given permission to address the House for

  Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, the Republican budget is a sham, rosy 
scenarios in cuts that will be named later, a plan that would unravel 
the bipartisan balanced budget agreement. But just do not take my word 
for it. Here is what other Republicans are saying about the GOP smoke

out its business in the next 5 years under the Kasich plan.'' That is 
the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee.
  Here is what the Washington Post says about the Republican budget, 
and I quote: ``To promise an election year tax cut on the strength of 
unlikely spending cuts to be named later, all the while preaching 
fiscal responsibility, would be a triple fraud.''

health care. They would jeopardize Social Security.
  End the triple fraud. Let us be honest about the numbers. Show us the 
cuts.
