              TIME FOR A BUDGET THAT PUTS TAXPAYERS FIRST

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, the 2010 Federal budget deficit will hit $1 
trillion this month, and we've also recently learned that the Federal 
debt will reach $19.5 trillion by 2015. You'd think this would be a 
case for some real careful examination of the Federal budget. You'd 
think Congress would be looking everywhere for areas to trim and 
programs to cut. But that is not the case. It's been almost 2 months 
since the deadline to introduce a budget resolution passed, and House 
Democrats still haven't produced a budget. How are we going to get 
spending under control and bring down the deficit if Congress won't 
even consider a budget? Madam Speaker, it's time for Congress to 
consider a budget, one that puts taxpayers, not big government, first.
