                   IT'S TIME TO CUT FEDERAL SPENDING

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, the American people sent a crystal clear 
message to Washington in November that they are tired of this town's 
job-killing spending spree. But it appears that our colleagues in the 
current majority didn't get the message.
  As a result, the government funding bill we're going to debate this 
week continues the record-setting rate of spending passed by the 
Democrat majority last year. This includes the higher spending for 
programs that have been bolstered by unnecessary and ineffective 
stimulus dollars.
  Republicans have pledged real spending cuts to get our Nation back to 
a responsible budget and help create jobs. In fact, we've proposed to 
cut spending to pre-bailout and pre-stimulus 2008 levels, which would 
save taxpayers $100 billion a year.
  Madam Speaker, let's listen to the American people and get Federal 
spending under control.
