                    BUDGET GUARANTEED TO RAISE TAXES

  (Mr. CAMPBELL of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CAMPBELL of California. Mr. Speaker, later today we will have a 
budget on this floor proposed by the Democratic majority which is 
guaranteed to raise taxes by about $200 billion. Now, that budget will 
also increase spending by about $200 billion over and above the budget 
that the President proposed.
  Do we think that those two numbers are the same by coincidence? No. 
And it's not an increase in spending by $200 billion, it's an increase 
over the increase proposed by the President by $200 billion. This is 
not a tax increase that we need to have. This is a tax increase that 
they want to have because they want to spend a lot more money than we 
are already spending, and we are already spending too much.
