                  AN AMERICAN BUDGET, A FAMILY BUDGET

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, we have all had hands-on experience balancing 
a budget, sitting at the kitchen table long after the kids have gone to 
bed shuffling through bills and pay stubs. We all know the feeling. In 
my family, balancing our budget isn't just a priority, it is a 
requirement. We must view America's budget the same way.
  The House Republican Balanced Budget for a Stronger America is not 
only realistic, but proactive. Our budget not only balances in less 
than 10 years, it does so without raising taxes. It places our country 
on a path to pay off the overwhelming mound of debt we face and creates 
a simpler Tax Code to ensure we continue to flourish.
  Mr. Speaker, our kitchen table may be bigger and the voices may be 
louder, but the same rules apply. Our budget balances and provides 
American families with the security they deserve.
