          GOP BUDGET MAKES IT HARDER FOR FAMILIES TO GET AHEAD

  (Mr. MICHAEL F. DOYLE of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission 
to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. MICHAEL F. DOYLE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
oppose this irresponsible and dishonest budget recently proposed by the 
House Budget Committee Republicans. Under this budget's grossly 
misguided priorities, people at the top continue to get richer while 
hardworking American families fall further behind.
  Last fall, at election time, congressional Republicans said they 
understood the pressures that American families were feeling, and they 
promised to help hardworking Americans. But this Republican budget 
would squeeze hardworking Americans even harder in countless ways, 
making it harder to pay for college, making it harder to pay for their 
health care, making it harder to ensure a secure retirement.
  This budget would eliminate health care coverage for tens of millions 
of Americans, cut nondefense government programs, from transportation 
to research to education, and make more than $1 trillion in unspecified 
cuts in Federal entitlement programs.
  This House Republican budget would make life a lot harder for 
hardworking American families like the ones I represent in western 
Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, this is a budget that needs not to pass.
