                      BETTER DEAL VERSUS RAW DEAL

  (Mrs. BUSTOS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, for too many hardworking families, job 
opportunities are down, medical bills are up, and wages are flat--and 
people are sick and tired of getting a raw deal from Washington.
  Let me tell you what a raw deal looks like.
  I met a homecare nurse who lives near me. She works full time. Her 
husband works full time, too. All they want to do is give their two 
kids the best childhood they possibly can. But they can't even afford 
to take their kids to the movies because tickets and popcorn and soda 
are just a little too much. When I asked what they do for fun, she said 
they have cable television.
  So how are we supposed to explain to a family like this, who can only 
give their kids the Disney Channel instead of Disney World, that the 
majority in Congress just gave $3.5 billion in taxpayer funds to the 
six largest banks on Wall Street?
  That is a raw deal, and it is wrong. Instead, we should fight every 
single day to give a better deal, built on a foundation of better jobs, 
better pay, and a better future for all Americans.
