    BUDGET THAT SPENDS TOO MUCH, TAXES TOO MUCH AND BORROWS TOO MUCH

  (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. Mr. Speaker, in his State of the Union 
address last week, the President stepped up his rhetoric about fiscal 
responsibility. But just yesterday the President presented a budget 
reminiscent of last year's that spends too much, taxes too much, and 
borrows too much. The reality behind the President's budget proposal is 
that it more than doubles the debt. It drives up spending to $3.8 
trillion in 2011. It pushes the deficit to a record $1.6 trillion. It 
raises taxes by over $2 trillion through 2020.
  During these tough economic times, lawmakers should be tightening our 
fiscal belts just like families across America are doing with their own 
budgets. Increasing taxes and spending is not the way to rejuvenate our 
economy and revitalize small businesses to create jobs.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
