                           A BALANCED BUDGET

  (Mr. TIPTON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, we've all heard the statement ``a day late 
and a dollar short.'' Well, the President is now 2 months late with his 
budget and billions of dollars short. It's clear, this President wants 
to balance the increase of government on the backs of the American 
people. He believes that government needs the resources more than 
hardworking Americans.
  We put forward a budget to be able to protect our senior citizens, to 
be able to build for the future for our children. The real approach, 
when we're talking about balance, is to have a budget that truly 
balances.
  This administration continues to grow government, continues to waste 
the hardworking dollars of the American taxpayer.
  Let's stand up and put politics aside and stand up for the people of 
this country and put forward a budget that will truly put America back 
to work.
