              BUDGET'S FAILURE TO ADDRESS OUR DEBT CRISIS

  (Mr. BILIRAKIS asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, for the fourth year in a row, of course 
President Obama's budget fails to seriously address our Nation's debt 
crisis and calls for higher taxes and increased stimulus spending.
  This budget punishes small businesses, job creators, and seniors at 
the expense of the administration's spending addiction. This is not a 
recipe for long-term economic growth.
  Instead, we need credible solutions that simplify the Tax Code, 
control Federal spending, and preserve valuable services for our 
seniors. Washington should create a win-win situation for all 
Americans.
  The House continues to take these steps with jobs bill after jobs 
bill that will put people back to work and allow job creators and 
entrepreneurs to grow.
  Unfortunately, the President's budget spends too much, taxes too 
much, borrows too much, and picks the winners and losers of our 
economic recovery. This is not what America needs right now.
