  (Mr. DREIER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1

minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, ``we have to confront the fact that our 
government spends more than it takes in. That is not sustainable. Every 
day, families sacrifice to live within their means. They deserve a 
government that does the same.''
  Those are the words that were stated less than 24 hours ago, at 9 
o'clock last night, by the President of the United States. And I have 
to say that truer words have never been spoken.
  Mr. Speaker, when Ms. Foxx calls up this rule, we will be proceeding 
with the first modified open rule for debate in 4 years, and we will be 
putting ourselves on a path towards reducing the size, scope, and reach 
of government so that we will send a signal out there that job creation 
and economic growth can finally, finally get moving.
