                       DEMOCRAT IRRESPONSIBILITY

  (Mr. PRICE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, with the recent hurricanes on the 
gulf coast, it is heartwarming to witness the unity and the outpouring 
of support from all Americans.
  It is a unity of purpose from all, except one group: Democrats in the 
House of Representatives. That is right.
  Our Republican leadership is working valiantly to find resources to 
provide help for the displaced residents. The way to do that is to 
reopen the budget and identify savings elsewhere to pay for those new 
costs, and the Democrat leadership says, They won't get one Democrat 
vote.
  Now, that is leadership. How sad.
  Mr. Speaker, the American people expect us to work together to solve 
problems. Democrats are stuck practicing the tired, old, petty, 
partisan politics of the past; and this is disappointing and 
irresponsible. America deserves more than obstruction from a once-proud 
party.
