                         THE REPUBLICAN BUDGET

  (Mr. LOWENTHAL asked was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LOWENTHAL. Mr. Speaker, I wish I could say that the budget 
resolution being moved through Congress right now will help America's 
middle class.
  I wish I could say that this budget will help provide opportunities 
for struggling Americans and security for our seniors.
  I wish I could say that this budget will help raise stagnant wages, 
help our kids attend college, and help our businesses create jobs.
  I wish I could say all of that, but I can't.
  What I can say is that the budget being pushed through the House 
today would make hard-working Americans work even harder and take home 
even less, while benefiting special interests and the ultrawealthy.
  I ask my Republican colleagues to partner with us in a bipartisan 
fashion to create a budget that will benefit all Americans.
