REPUBLICAN BUDGET
(Mr. HARRIS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. HARRIS. Mr. Speaker, this week, the House Republicans rolled out
next year's budget and laid out a clear plan to balance the budget in
less than 10 years, cut $5.5 trillion in deficit spending, and fully
repeal ObamaCare.
It will work to cut waste and create a lean and effective government
that truly works for the people. Every day, hardworking taxpayers
across our Nation are forced to balance their budgets. It is about time
that the Federal Government does the same.
Over the last several years, we have seen reckless spending that is
saddling future generations with massive amounts of debt. I want our
children and grandchildren to have a better opportunity to succeed than
we did, and on the current trajectory, that is just not possible.
Unlike the budget President Obama submitted to Congress, the House
budget calls for a fairer, simpler Tax Code and promotes job creation
and a healthy economy. It will work to cut red tape that is suffocating
our private employers, and it creates a more transparent and
accountable government.
It is time to put money back in the pockets of our hardworking
American taxpayers, and this budget will do just that.
