                   PRESIDENT OBAMA'S BUDGET PROPOSAL

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, President Obama 
released his budget. Unfortunately, it is right out of the liberals' 
tax-and-spend playbook.
  Apparently, the President thinks that since he has already added $7.5 
trillion to America's record $18 trillion debt, what is $8.5 trillion 
more?
  As chairman of the Social Security Subcommittee, I am also concerned 
that President Obama has once again ignored the grim finances of Social 
Security, and that is a shame because we cannot keep kicking the can 
down the road. It is just not fair or right to the millions of 
hardworking Americans who have paid into Social Security.
  Mr. Speaker, contrary to what Obama likes to say in his speeches, too 
many Americans are still struggling. The last thing this country needs 
is more taxes, more spending, and more debt.
  Americans want, need, and deserve better.
