                     PRESIDENT TRUMP'S 2021 BUDGET

  (Mr. SCHNEIDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SCHNEIDER. Madam Speaker, I rise today in opposition to the 
irresponsible and immoral budget request proposed by President Trump.
  The President's shameful betrayal of Americans most in need of vital 
services comes just days after he stood in this very Chamber and 
promised he would protect them.
  A budget reveals our priorities, and this document makes clear 
President Trump does not prioritize hardworking Americans and their 
families. Once again, the President goes out of his way to target 
Americans' access to healthcare and affordable education.
  In the President's upside-down budget, $500 billion is stripped from 
Medicare, $900 billion from Medicaid. Student loan funding is cut by 
$170 billion. Public Service Loan Forgiveness would be completely 
eliminated. More than $200 billion would be cut from the SNAP program, 
the safety net for families facing temporary challenges putting food on 
the table.
  Madam Speaker, these cuts are wrong, and the House must not let them 
go forward. I will continue to work with my colleagues in Congress to 
protect these critical programs that our seniors, working families, 
young people, and children depend on.
