                        PRESIDENT OBAMA'S BUDGET

  (Mr. SWALWELL of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SWALWELL of California. Mr. Speaker, this week, the President put 
forward his budget. Now, this House has an opportunity to put forward 
one of our own that reflects the values of those we represent.
  We have a choice. We can embrace and support the President's budget 
that lifts all Americans up, or we can pass another House Republican 
budget that keeps Americans down.
  In California's East Bay, access to child care is going down while 
costs go up. Access to education has been reduced while costs go up for 
those who are lucky enough to get in. Paychecks are going down while 
everyday costs around us are going up.
  With this budget, we can address and fix these problems for the 
families we represent. We can expand access to child care and cut taxes 
for families paying child care. We can pass and expand access to 
community colleges with tuition-free community colleges. We can see 
paycheck progress by making investments in transportation and 
infrastructure.
  We have a choice. Pass the House Republican budget which will keep 
families down, or we can lift America up and provide more opportunity 
for everyone with this President's budget.
