              OUR BUDGET MAKES TOUGH, RESPONSIBLE CHOICES

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, sadly, one of the ways 
Democrats may choose to trim President Obama's massive borrow-and-spend 
budget is to sunset middle-class tax cuts. So, after looking over the 
budget that already borrows too much, spends too much, and taxes too 
much, they've decided that they will save money by taking tax breaks 
away from American families.
  Republicans believe we should help American families and small 
businesses keep more of their own money so they can create jobs. We do 
not balance our budgets on the backs of the American taxpayer. We are 
promoting the ideals of limited government, being threatened by the 
massive growth of big government.
  Our budget will address national challenges like affordable health 
care, uncertainty in our dollar and Social Security, as well as high 
gas and electricity costs. It is a budget that reflects the spirit of 
responsibility we are seeing from families all across America.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th and the global war on terrorism.
