                        FISCAL YEAR 2007 BUDGET

  (Mr. DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I have always been told that 
budgets are a way of reflecting priorities. And if that is the case, 
then the budget documents that I have seen are indeed frightening.
  The proposed budget I have seen will serve to widen the gap between 
the rich and the poor, cut vital health services for people who need 
them the most, and increase the cost of higher education.
  I had hoped that the budget this year was going to be something 
different, but I am afraid it is the same old soup warmed over, the 
same old lemon with a new twist, and same old trickle-down theory of 
economics. I hope that we will tear it apart and send it back.
