                          SOCIALISM IN AMERICA

  (Mr. CAWTHORN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. CAWTHORN. Madam Speaker, you have squandered the inheritance of a 
generation today. You have governed with abandon and exchanged 
financial assurance for instant gratification.
  Today, you didn't pass a budget plan. You passed a death wish for 
America. It is easy for you to sit up there and authorize $68 trillion 
over the next 10 years because you will never have to shoulder the 
financial burden of your actions.
  Your road map for our future is a highway to hell. You have exchanged 
the American Dream for a socialist nightmare.
  To the American people: You have been lied to. Your taxes will be 
raised because of the actions of Democrats today.
  I shudder to think of what our country, our city on a hill, our 
beacon of freedom, will look like in a generation when we deliver a 
Nation devoid of treasure to our children.
  We will give account one day for our actions in this Congress. Madam 
Speaker, if we hand over a bankrupt legacy to our children, your 
actions today will be indicted, and you will be without excuse. Madam 
Speaker, you are walking around with my generation's checkbook, and we 
want it back.
