                        PRESIDENT OBAMA'S BUDGET

  (Mr. BISHOP of Utah asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Mr. Speaker, you can't spend more money than you 
bring in. That's a fairly simple concept, isn't it? But apparently not 
for Democrats who run the administration in Washington.
  Under President Obama, we've had 4 years of government spending, each 
year spending over $1 trillion more than we took in. That kind of 
spending is not only irresponsible, it's dangerous. It drives up the 
national debt, hurts families, neighbors, and our friends.
  The time to rein in Washington spending is now, a concept so obvious 
it has become a cliche. House Republicans understand this. That's why 
we passed a responsible budget that keeps our taxes low and balances 
spending. That's more money in your family's pocket.
  The President is going to introduce a budget that doesn't balance and 
tries to raise taxes again.
  House Republicans know the way forward, a way forward to foster a 
healthier economy and help create jobs. It's time for the President to 
get serious about this issue as well.
