                                 BUDGET

  (Mr. CALVERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the American 
people who deserve an answer about the out-of-control spending policies 
coming out of Washington. For the first time, the House has failed to 
produce a budget. There is no plan for how the majority will spend the 
American taxpayers' hard-earned money for fiscal year 2011.
  For American families, if they don't get a budget and pay the bills, 
there are real consequences. Unfortunately, the majority continues to 
turn a blind eye to future consequences as they push spending to a 
record $3.8 trillion in fiscal year 2011 and widen the deficit to a 
record $1.5 trillion this year.
  House Republicans stand ready to make tough choices in order to rein 
in spending. Recently, we introduced a measure on the House floor to 
freeze Federal civilian pay, which will save about $30 billion over 10 
years. The program was selected by the American people through the 
innovate YouCut initiative. The American people have spoken: stop the 
spending frenzy, budget for the future, and return fiscal sanity to 
Washington.
