                    DEMOCRATS WILL KEEP OUR PROMISE

  (Mr. SABLAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SABLAN. Madam Speaker, Republicans have relentlessly tried to 
undermine the pillars of Americans' retirement security.
  The Trump budget alone calls for $500 billion in cuts to Medicare, 
almost $1.5 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, and $72 billion in cuts to 
Social Security disability. Democrats will keep our promise to our 
seniors and protect the health, well-being, and financial security of 
American families by strengthening Medicare, Medicaid, and Social 
Security.
  Moreover, the Trump budget calls for cuts to vital childcare 
development block grants that help ensure working parents have access 
to quality, affordable child care. Democrats are calling for expanded 
childcare assistance and universal access to high-quality preschool 
programs so every child can have a strong start.
