                  THE DEMOCRAT BUDGET BORROWS TOO MUCH

  (Mr. GARRETT of New Jersey asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. GARRETT of New Jersey. During the last campaign, Hillary Clinton 
said that she had a million good ideas. She probably never thought that 
she would be outbid by this new administration that has a million bad 
ideas that are going to cost American taxpayers literally trillions of 
dollars.
  This current budget spends too much, taxes too much, and borrows too 
much.

It spends too much, and it's coming up to $2.3 trillion more than the 
White House even estimated a short time ago.
  It taxes too much because every hardworking American household across 
this country is going to see their taxes go up by over $3,000. While 
they're struggling with paying their bills, their taxes will be rising.
  It borrows too much because it's going to increase the debt on 
taxpayers across this country. Right now it stands at about $35,000 per 
capita. It's going to double in 8 years to around $70,000.
  You know, Americans were voting for a change. I think at the end they 
were really hoping for something better than this.
