                           REPUBLICAN BUDGET

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Every American family and small business knows that budgets 
have to be balanced to be sustainable. For years, though, Washington 
hasn't been balancing its budget. The Senate hasn't even been passing 
them. House Republicans have had enough of this ``Washington 
exceptionalism.'' We've introduced a budget for the Federal Government 
that will balance in just 10 years.
  Budgets reveal priorities, and House Republicans have revealed ours. 
We want to build a stronger, more prosperous future for this generation 
and the next. We want to protect the promise of Medicare, guarantee 
accountability for the use of taxpayer dollars, preserve personal 
freedoms, and pursue commonsense governance. The American people 
deserve this, and so we've offered a balanced budget that encourages 
growth and opportunity for all while paving the way for the country to 
get out of debt.
  Will the President follow our lead and submit a budget that balances?
