               HOUSE PASSES REASONABLE BUDGET RESOLUTION

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, earlier this week House Republicans voted to 
pass the fiscal year 2007 House budget resolution. I was pleased to 
support a reasonable budget that will fund our top priorities, continue 
our program policies, and increase accountability within Federal 
Government programs. I was especially pleased to see this budget will 
help cut the Federal deficit in half by 2009 without implementing any 
tax increases.
  Yet, in keeping with their record of being the party of no, Democrats 
voted ``no'' on this budget. They voted ``no'' to even the smallest 
attempts on holding the line on spending, and they voted ``no'' to 
reforming outdated and ineffective government programs. You see, 
Democrats would rather just raise taxes on hardworking families.
  Mr. Speaker, you can rest assured that House Republicans are going to 
continue to work to keep taxes low and maintain the pro-growth economic 
policies that have created 32 consecutive months of job growth. After 
all, if there is something we should all be saying ``no'' to, it is the 
Democrats' tax and spend mentality.
