         RYAN BUDGET WITH LIPSTICK IS COMING TO THE HOUSE TODAY

  (Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Cut, Cap, and Balance is not a jobs bill; 
it's a job-killing bill. It's a new way of trying to ramrod the Ryan 
budget proposal down our throats. It's the Ryan budget with lipstick, 
and it's really just slash-and-burn politics with a new face.
  Today, the Republicans will vote unanimously for this draconian 
slash-and-burn Ryan budget plan that they now call ``Cut, Cap, and 
Balance.'' For the third time, the Republicans will vote unanimously to 
cut Medicare and change Social Security to a voucher program that puts 
our seniors at the mercy of the for-profit insurance companies. And 
that's real.
  We need jobs and economic growth, not cut, cap and balance, which is, 
again, just slash-and-burn politics, the Ryan budget proposal with 
lipstick. And that's the real deal. That's realer than ``Real Deal 
Holyfield.''
