VOTE AGAINST THE REPUBLICAN BUDGET

minute.)
Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Speaker, every budget should be viewed through the
lens of the American people. The hardworking Floridians I represent
want to

know: Does the Ryan budget put Americans back to work or back on
unemployment? The moms and dads I represent want to know: Does the Ryan
budget invest in our children or does it ignore our outdated public
schools? The small business owners I represent want to know: Does the
Republican budget fix our rigged Tax Code or does it protect special
interest loopholes? The retirees I represent want to know: Does this
budget protect Medicare or does it abandon seniors in the face of
skyrocketing health care costs?
The answer is: no. No, the Ryan budget will not put people back to
work. No, it doesn't invest in our schools. No, it does not end special
interest giveaways. No, it does not protect Medicare.
The Ryan Republican budget does not stand by our communities, and it
doesn't invest in our future. That's why I urge my colleagues to vote
``no'' on the Republican budget.
