                               GOP BUDGET

  (Ms. CHU asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. CHU. Two thousand dollars; $2,000 is what you will lose if the 
Republican Paul Ryan budget goes through.
  What does $2,000 mean to you?
  For a single mom, it could mean the difference between feeding her 
family or seeing her kids go hungry. For hardworking Americans, it 
could mean the car payment, or gas money, or prescription drug money 
that you need to pay each and every month. But to the GOP, $2,000 is 
the amount they are taxing middle-class families in their ``new 
budget,'' the Paul Ryan budget.
  But not everybody has to pay more. The truth is that in this budget, 
if you're an oil company or corporation taking jobs overseas or a yacht 
owner, you have nothing to fear with the GOP budget. Your lifestyle is 
totally secure.
  Once again, working families will pay more so the rich can pay less. 
For the sake of middle class Americans, we must oppose the Ryan budget.
