                    SUPPORTING THE REPUBLICAN BUDGET

  (Mr. STUTZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STUTZMAN. It's hard for President Obama to find a solution when 
he doesn't understand the problem.
  This week, he told ABC News that he doesn't believe that our country 
faces a debt crisis. Yesterday, Senate Democrats outlined a budget that 
never balances but that sinks us further and further into debt year 
after year.
  The American people understand that nearly $17 trillion of debt is no 
way to run a country. Hoosiers know that every penny Washington borrows 
today will be taken from taxpayer pockets tomorrow. Folks back home 
know this, and so do House Republicans. That's why I am proud to 
support the budget my friend and colleague Chairman Ryan introduced 
this week.
  Mr. Speaker, this budget actually balances in 10 years--something our 
Democrat colleagues' budget in the Senate never does. It never 
balances. Our budget encourages economic growth and promotes 
opportunity for all Americans. By simplifying the Tax Code, scaling 
back government overreach and strengthening the promises made to 
seniors, our budget puts this country on a responsible, balanced path.
  I commend Chairman Ryan and the House Budget Committee for their 
work.
