                              RYAN BUDGET

  (Mrs. ELLMERS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. ELLMERS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the House 
budget proposal for the 2014 fiscal year. This proposal sets real 
practical goals that will stop spending money we don't have by cutting 
wasteful spending, fix our broken Tax Code to create jobs and increase 
wages, protect and strengthen important priorities like Medicare and 
national security, reform welfare programs like Medicaid so that we can 
deliver on the promises that we have made for those who truly need it, 
and repeal the President's health care bill so that we can finally 
replace it with meaningful patient-centered health care.
  Most importantly, it reduces the deficit and the debt that we have, 
and it becomes balanced in 10 years. I am continuously amazed by those 
on the other side of the aisle who say that this is just crazy talk 
that we would balance the Federal budget in 10 years.
  Mr. Speaker, this addresses the issues and the goals that will create 
a pro-growth economy and which will affect every American family across 
this country.
