                        HOUSE REPUBLICAN BUDGET

  (Mr. MARCHANT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. MARCHANT. Madam Speaker, every American family has to live within 
its means. It is time for Washington to do the same.
  The House Republican budget deals with our debts and builds an 
economy that rewards Americans who work hard and want to get ahead.
  I support the conservative budget for three simple reasons: the plan 
balances the budget within 10 years, cuts wasteful government spending 
over 10 years by $5.1 trillion, and pays down the national debt.
  In addition, the Republican budget proposal grows the economy, 
repeals ObamaCare, strengthens Medicare, secures Social Security for 
the long term, simplifies the broken Tax Code, promotes American energy 
production, and enhances national and diplomatic security.
  In contrast, President Obama's budget never balances, hikes taxes by 
$1.8 trillion, and adds $8.3 trillion more to the national debt of 
$17.5 trillion.
  My constituents know that we can't afford more of the same Big 
Government spending that has buried our economy and our country in 
debt.
  I encourage my colleagues to join me in supporting the House 
Republican budget and getting our Nation's fiscal house in order.
