               THE GOP'S ``WORK HARDER FOR LESS'' BUDGET

  (Mr. KILDEE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, well, today the Republicans are unveiling 
yet another Republican budget that would ensure hardworking Americans 
have to continue to work harder and get less.
  Our country deserves a budget that puts these hardworking families 
first, not this damaging budget that guts middle class priorities 
making it harder to buy a home, harder to send your kids to college, 
and harder to have a secure retirement. It is all at the expense of 
handouts to special interests.
  This ``work harder, get less'' budget continues to squeeze the middle 
class by keeping wages stagnant, cutting student loans, and privatizing 
Medicare. House Democrats stand ready to pass a budget that invests in 
our families so that they can take home bigger paychecks, send their 
kids to school, and save for retirement.
  The Republican budget takes the tools that build the American Dream 
away from hardworking Americans to give bigger tax cuts and bigger tax 
breaks to the superwealthy.
  Mr. Speaker, I hope that my Republican colleagues will work with us 
in a bipartisan fashion to fashion a budget that works for all 
Americans.
