                     REJECT HOUSE REPUBLICAN BUDGET

  (Mr. JEFFRIES asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JEFFRIES. Mr. Speaker, congressional Democrats are trying to move 
the country forward, but the House Republican budget is designed to 
turn back the clock.
  Instead of trying to take a balanced approach to dealing with our 
Nation's fiscal problems, the House Republican budget seeks to balance 
itself on the backs of working families, middle class folks, senior 
citizens, young Americans, college students, the poor, the sick, and 
the afflicted. Instead of trying to promote progress for everyone, the 
House Republican budget seeks to enact policies designed to simply 
benefit the privileged few.
  It is a regressive, a retrograde, and an irresponsible Republican 
budget, and it should be soundly rejected. It does not add a single 
middle class job. It does not increase a single middle class paycheck. 
It does not help a single middle class family send its child to 
college. Mr. Speaker, I am urging that the House soundly reject this 
reckless Republican budget.
