                          WHERE IS THE BUDGET?

  (Mr. MARCHANT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, for some time now, my colleagues have come 
to the floor to ask the question: Where are the jobs? Now, in addition 
to asking that question, I am also asking: Where is the budget?
  With our national debt standing at over $13 trillion, we must enact a 
plan to curb wasteful and reckless spending. Although Democrats in this 
House have not undertaken the hard work of compiling a budget plan, 
House Republicans have.
  Under the Republican plan, we reduce the 10-year deficit by $3.3 
trillion. The Democrats have no plan to do this.
  Under the Republican plan, we borrow 3.6 trillion fewer dollars than 
the administration does. Congressional Democrats have no plan.
  Under the Republican plan, we spend $4.8 trillion less than the 
President's bloated budget. Once again, congressional Democrats have no 
plan.
  I call on the majority today to produce a budget so that we can have 
a debate on improving our fiscal condition.
