                           PATH TO PROSPERITY

  (Mr. COBLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, this week, the House will consider the Path 
to Prosperity budget, reaffirming, once again, that the House 
Republicans are the only ones in Washington offering serious solutions 
to government's spending-driven debt crisis.
  Americans at home must prepare a balanced budget for themselves and 
their families. Our plan would bring the same common sense to 
Washington once the budget is balanced over the next decade.
  Our budget is not balanced by raising taxes on hardworking Americans, 
but by responsibly reducing spending on government waste and reforming 
mandatory spending to ensure that programs on which Americans rely 
remain strong for decades to come.
  Our budget saves taxpayers $4.6 trillion over the next decade. The 
Senate Democrat budget, however, calls for $1.5 trillion in new taxes 
and $7.3 trillion in new debt.
  America, Mr. Speaker, deserves better. That's why the House 
Republicans have proposed the Path to Prosperity to get our economy 
back on track and create more jobs and opportunities for more 
Americans.
