                              NO NEW TAXES

  (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, you know, this budget of the President 
taxes too much, it borrows too much, and it spends way too much money. 
And the focus of the White House should be on what they can do to 
generate economic growth rather than finding new ways to tax our 
families, hardworking families. And we hear they are going to be taxed 
to the tune of $1.9 trillion--with a ``T''--in new taxes.
  My constituents have had enough of this economic abuse and so have 
our children and our grandchildren. They don't want the government to 
continue to spend money they have not made for programs that they do 
not want. They are worried about the future of their small businesses, 
they are worried about their retirement plans, and they are worried 
about the future of those children and grandchildren. So Republicans 
are offering an alternative that will be there to help ensure our 
economic prosperity.
  I would encourage all of my colleagues to support this alternative 
because Americans deserve more than wasteful government spending at 
unprecedented levels. They deserve freedom and economic prosperity.
