                 WHERE DOES ALL OF THE MONEY COME FROM?

  (Mrs. BLACKBURN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, one of my constituents recently said to 
me, ``I'm tired of the government spending money I have not made yet 
for programs I don't want.'' And my constituents are right on this.
  On top of the trillions that have already been spent, the President's 
budget is proposing doubling Federal spending by the year 2019. My 
constituents are saying, ``How are we going to pay for this?''
  Well, as we have heard this morning, there is the tax-and-cap scheme 
which is $646 billion and is going to cost every American family an 
additional $3,128 per year out of their household budget.
  There is also the small-business taxes, $637 billion of new small-
business taxes. It is going to wipe out any kind of tax reduction that 
would have gone to the 95 percent of working Americans.
  So the question becomes: Where does all of this money come from? 
Well, we know that the Democrat leadership is going to borrow too much, 
they are going to tax too much, and they are going to spend too much of 
the taxpayers' money.
