                          THROW-BACK THURSDAY

  (Mr. DUFFY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DUFFY. Madam Speaker, if it is Thursday, it is throw-back 
Thursday.
  I want to take a look back to April 15, 2011, the House Republicans 
passed a budget that balanced.
  March 29, 2012, House Republicans led the charge to pass a budget 
that balanced.
  March 21, 2013, we passed a budget that balances in 10 years.
  Just last night, we passed a budget that is again going to balance in 
10 years.
  The bottom line is that we can't do it by ourselves. If you look to 
the President who introduces budgets that never, ever, ever balance, 
and you look to the Democrats in the Senate who don't even introduce 
budgets, we can't get this job done.
  We have Americans who are young that want opportunity, that want jobs 
and don't want to pay higher taxes. If we don't balance our budgets, 
they are the ones who are going to pay.
  But it is the poorest among us who look to government for a little 
bit of help. If we have a debt crisis, we won't be there to help them.
  Let's work together. Let's balance our budget. Let's be sustainable 
in government spending.
