                           WHITE HOUSE BUDGET

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, next week the House is going 
to vote on the administration's budget that spends too much, taxes too 
much, and borrows too much. Every day, American families need to make 
tough decisions to balance their budgets. If they end up in the red 
each month, they are in trouble. But not the Federal Government.
  The administration says spend, spend, spend. The White House budget 
raises taxes on hardworking Americans in the middle of a recession. 
Americans say ``no new taxes.'' They don't want us to raise taxes 
during a recession. They know that it is not the way to get this 
economy moving again. Our children and grandchildren deserve better. 
Let's clean the budget up.
  We used to say, ``It's the spending, stupid.''
