                                 BUDGET

  (Mr. PITTENGER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PITTENGER. Mr. Speaker, President Reagan once told us that the 
nine most terrifying words in the English language are: ``I'm from the 
government, and I'm here to help.''
  Well, the kind of help we have received, Mr. Speaker, has been more 
regulations, a greater tax burden, a bigger bureaucracy, and no growth 
for the American family, for American business.
  This week, we have the opportunity, Mr. Speaker, to change this 
course by passing the House 2016 budget, which cuts $5.5 trillion in 
spending while strengthening vital programs; calls for a fairer, 
simpler Tax Code to promote good-paying jobs and an opportunity 
economy; completely repeals ObamaCare; and puts a premium on 
accountability, efficiency, and effectiveness in all areas of the 
Federal Government.
  Now is the time to restore common sense and fiscal sanity to 
Washington.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge all my colleagues to support the House 2016 
budget.
