                        HOUSE REPUBLICAN BUDGET

  (Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak out against the 
Republican budget plan.
  Budgets are not just numbers on a piece of paper; they are moral 
documents, moral documents that demonstrate our Nation's values, 
ideals, and our priorities.
  The House Republican budget of ``work harder and get less'' is not 
where it is at. Their budget makes it harder for American families to 
pay for a home, to send their kids to college, and keeps paychecks in 
this country stagnant; and it is something that we should not tolerate.
  Instead, Republicans should work with Democrats to end the 
sequestration so we can make it easier to send our kids to college, fix 
our roads that are crumbling every day, and also to make sure that we 
can keep good-paying jobs here in our country. That is the American 
Dream; that is the land of opportunity.
  I urge the Republicans to work with us, not against us, so we can fix 
this problem for the American people.
