                        REPUBLICAN HOUSE BUDGET

  (Mrs. LOWEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. LOWEY. The House Republican budget resolution is a blueprint for 
stalled growth, joblessness, and abandonment of American families.
  Since 2010, Congress has cut services and investments critical to 
American families by $1.5 trillion. Sequestration slashed an additional 
$68 billion, which will cost 750,000 jobs this year alone.
  This budget resolution will exacerbate this damage by cutting an 
additional $1 trillion over 10 years from funding levels agreed to in 
the Budget Control Act. It would have a severe impact on critical 
services and investments like veterans' benefits, homeland security, 
schools, medical research, law enforcement, and Pell Grants.
  It is time to stop the mindless cuts to critical services and 
investments and support job growth and middle class families.
