  SURVEY SHOWS SMALL BUSINESS CONCERNED ABOUT BIG GOVERNMENT, OUT-OF-
                            CONTROL SPENDING

  (Mr. HULTGREN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. HULTGREN. Madam Speaker, last week I saw the results of a survey 
of the businesses from the National Federation of Independent Business. 
I want you to hear some of the concerns of the small businesses of the 
14th Congressional District of Illinois.
  Eighty-eight percent of the small businesses support repeal of 
ObamaCare, something we've been working hard to achieve here in the 
House of Representatives. Ninety percent support passage of a balanced 
budget amendment, something this body will be voting on later this 
week, of which also I strongly support.
  Small business knows, as I do, that the way that we get our economy 
moving again is by shrinking the size of government, bringing 
confidence back to job creators, and getting Washington bureaucrats off 
the backs of our Nation's small businesses. We're working hard to do 
just that with the forgotten 20 bills that are now sitting over in the 
Senate, and I look forward to continuing their fight.
  I also want to take this opportunity to say happy birthday to Christy 
and Kaden. I wish I were home with you today.
