                 BUDGET RESOLUTION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2005

  (Ms. PRYCE of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PRYCE of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, as we consider the budget today, my 
colleagues on the other side of the aisle will talk about their budget 
for America, which includes repealing tax cuts we fought so hard for. 
But their quote-unquote repeal is nothing more than job-killing tax 
increases on American workers. Period. Their alleged ``plan'' would 
blow America's economic engine. It would be like hitching a heavy 
trailer to the back of a motor scooter. I cannot think of a better way 
to turn it into a dead weight, a useless vehicle that would take us 
nowhere. Job-destroying tax increases are like a trailer full of bricks 
that will stop this economy dead in its tracks.
  Mr. Speaker, let us pass a budget that strengthens our national 
defense, a budget that grows our economy, a budget that creates jobs, a 
budget that will get rid of Washington waste and excessive spending. We 
have that opportunity today, Mr. Speaker. Let us take advantage of it.
