                    BUDGET FACT CHECK: NO COMPARISON

  (Mr. PALLONE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. PALLONE. Madam Speaker, the Republicans, the ``Party of No,'' are 
now the ``Party of No New Ideas.'' The budget plan they released last 
week is a rerun of the same failed policies that got our country into 
this deep financial and economic crisis, including massive tax cuts for 
the wealthiest Americans, huge subsidies to big oil and gas companies, 
and no plan to bring down the cost of health care. And their approach 
to the financial market is to ask for more deregulation. The plan will 
result in deep cuts to vital services like education and public safety.
  It's basically the same old thing--the Republican ``Party of No.'' I 
ask my colleagues, vote for the Democratic budget and vote against the 
Republican alternative.
