                        PRESIDENT TRUMP'S BUDGET

  (Mr. CARBAJAL asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARBAJAL. Mr. Speaker, this week the President broke his promise 
to America's seniors that he would not cut Medicare or Social Security 
benefits.
  After Republicans in Congress passed a massive tax giveaway for 
corporations and the wealthiest 1 percent, the President now wants to 
balance the budget on the backs of our seniors and students.
  This budget cuts $2 trillion from Medicare, Medicaid, and Social 
Security over the next 10 years, programs that our seniors have paid 
into for decades.
  As students face a $1 trillion student loan debt crisis, Trump's 
budget pushes affordable college further out of reach by cutting $207 
billion from student loan programs.
  Thankfully, Americans voted overwhelmingly last election to place a 
check on this President by sending a new Democratic majority to 
Congress, and they can rest assured knowing that we will not consider 
the President's cruel budget cuts in this House.
