                  ONE SOLUTION AND THREE SIMPLE STEPS

  (Mr. FLEMING asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. FLEMING. Madam Speaker, I have three simple words for President 
Obama and congressional Democrats: cut, cap, and balance. Last week 
when our Campaigner in Chief held his news conference, he asked for a 
plan.
  Well, Mr. President, cut, cap and balance is our plan. It's a plan 
that cuts Federal spending immediately, puts in place enforceable 
spending caps, and demands a balanced budget amendment to the 
Constitution. This plan cuts total spending by $111 billion in 2012 and 
around $5.8 trillion over the next 10 years, while not increasing taxes 
one single penny. We have too much debt because we spend too much, not 
because we haven't taxed you enough.
  Mr. President, you asked for a plan and here it is. It's your turn to 
get serious and work with us to solve this problem--not against us. 
Stop demagoging this issue with cheap scare tactics and politics 
because the American people are tired of it and deserve much better.
