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.
