                   WHERE'S YOUR PLAN, MR. PRESIDENT?

  (Mr. FLEMING asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. FLEMING. Mr. Speaker, just moments ago this body passed the Cut, 
Cap, and Balance bill. Today we stand at a crossroads that will define 
our Nation's financial security for generations. Republicans, we have a 
plan that cuts the Federal budget, caps Federal spending, and balances 
the Federal budget with a constitutional amendment so we do not have 
this problem in perpetuity.
  Democrats, well, there is no plan, no plan to bring this country back 
to financial sanity. Yet my colleagues on the left continue to 
criticize the House Republican plan. In all the time my colleagues on 
the Democrat side have been attacking the House Republican plan, they 
could have come up with one of their own. Even the President talks 
about his plan; yet he has yet to produce one. This shows once again a 
complete failure of leadership by President Obama and congressional 
Democrats.
  The American people spoke loudly and clearly in the 2010 elections: 
They want Federal spending cut. It's that simple. Let's follow through 
and not let the American people down.
