                   VOTE AGAINST THE REPUBLICAN BUDGET

  (Mr. DEUTCH asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Speaker, every budget should be viewed through the 
lens of the American people. The hardworking Floridians I represent 
want to know: Does the Ryan budget put Americans back to work or back 
on unemployment? The moms and dads I represent want to know: Does the 
Ryan budget invest in our children or does it ignore our outdated 
public schools? The small business owners I represent want to know: 
Does the Republican budget fix our rigged Tax Code or does it protect 
special interest loopholes? The retirees I represent want to know: Does 
this budget protect Medicare or does it abandon seniors in the face of 
skyrocketing health care costs?
  The answer is: no. No, the Ryan budget will not put people back to 
work. No, it doesn't invest in our schools. No, it does not end special 
interest giveaways. No, it does not protect Medicare.
  The Ryan Republican budget does not stand by our communities, and it 
doesn't invest in our future. That's why I urge my colleagues to vote 
``no'' on the Republican budget.
