                     SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC BUDGET

  (Mr. PALLONE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, according to the CBO, the House Republican 
budget's cuts to SNAP would drive the poorest working families deeper 
into poverty and would increase hunger in our communities.
  The Republican budget would cut as many as 60 million people from 
SNAP, most of whom are working, and cuts of this magnitude would be 
tragic for millions of hard-working Americans and their families. 
Basically, the House Republican budget makes people work harder for 
less.
  Today, the Democrats introduced an alternative budget, and this 
Democratic budget works for hard-working Americans. First, it makes it 
easier to own a home; second, easier to send kids to college; third, 
easier to have a secure and enjoyable retirement.
  Once again, the difference between the two: House Republicans want 
Americans to work harder for less; Democrats, on the other hand, want 
to help hard-working Americans.
