                         NO BUDGET? NO PROBLEM

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. You know, last week the House leader 
announced that Democrats will not craft a budget next year. Instead of 
going line by line to see what programs could be eliminated or reduced, 
they are ignoring the dire warnings of economists and continuing on 
their spending frenzy. No budget? No problem. Not enough money? No 
problem. They'll just raise taxes on the middle class, breaking their 
promise not to raise taxes on families earning less than $250,000.
  They need to produce a budget and stop the out-of-control spending 
that has pushed our national debt past $13 trillion. I don't know 
what's worse, failing to produce a budget or how the Democrats already 
have resigned to the fact they will raise taxes on middle class 
families to pay for their wasteful ways. Americans want, need, and 
deserve better. Make a budget, cut spending for our freedom and for our 
future.
