           REPUBLICAN BUDGET A BLUEPRINT FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH

  (Mr. GIBBS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. GIBBS. Mr. Speaker, currently we are experiencing one of the 
worst economic recoveries in the history of our Nation. It's a stagnant 
economy, and this should not be the new normal. Our budget is a 
blueprint for economic growth and job creation.
  I can't stress the differences between our budget and the Senate 
Democrat budget. Their budget raises taxes by over $1 trillion and 
never balances. This is totally irresponsible.
  We cannot continue to borrow nearly $4 billion every day. Current 
policies and the Senate Democrats' plan is suffocating our economy and 
job growth.
  Our budget brings us to a balanced budget using tax dollars in a 
fiscally responsible manner, commonsense regulatory tax reforms, and an 
energy policy that results in economic growth and job creation.
