                               THE BUDGET

  (Mr. WALBERG asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WALBERG. Mr. Speaker, President Obama finally released his 2014 
budget this week, 2 months late and trillions of dollars short.
  Similar to last year's plan, it taxes more to spend more. While the 
President claims his budget will reduce the deficit in a balanced way, 
it won't ever balance--not in 10 years, not ever.
  The President's plan is $8.2 trillion of new debt. It also includes 
$1.1 trillion in new taxes. Hardworking taxpayers don't deserve more 
taxes; they deserve a budget that allows them to keep more of their own 
money and not worry about financial debt being placed on their children 
and grandchildren.
  House Republicans have passed such a budget, one that balances: a 
proactive budget that eliminates the deficit while also providing 
economic security for employers and employees, a sustainable safety net 
for the poor and those retiring, and a secure future for our children 
and grandchildren.
  Americans know what it takes to create a balanced budget for their 
own families and their own businesses, and they deserve the same from 
their government.
