                 REPUBLICAN BUDGET UNMITIGATED DISASTER

  (Mr. TAKANO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TAKANO. Mr. Speaker, the Republican budget put together by 
Chairman Ryan is one of the world's worst vanity projects. It doesn't 
actually help the American people. It simply fulfills Mr. Ryan's 
ideological fantasies.
  I want a budget that will grow our economy, create jobs, invest in 
the American people. Mr. Ryan wants a budget that will make Ayn Rand 
proud. I want a budget that improves our national education system. Mr. 
Ryan's budget will cut funding for nearly 8,000 schools. I want a 
budget that expands job training. Mr. Ryan's budget would deny 3.5 
million Americans access to job training programs. I want a budget that 
keeps the promises to our seniors. Mr. Ryan's budget ends the guarantee 
of Medicare and turns it into a voucher system.
  Mr. Speaker, the Ryan budget is an unmitigated disaster. I opposed 
it, and I know all my Democratic colleagues opposed it. This budget is 
at odds with what the American people need.
