On the recordMarch 28, 2012
Mr. Chairman, this budget is about fairness, where everyone, not just a special few, can succeed. While the Republican budget ends the Medicare guarantee, the Budget for All makes no cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security. While their budget slashes Pell Grants, leaving 1 million students struggling, the Budget for All actually increases investments in education. While their budget destroys 4.1 million jobs in just 2 years, the Budget for All actually puts 2 million more people back to work by investing in infrastructure. The Republicans do all this to keep tax breaks for Big Oil and provide an extra $150,000 for millionaires. The Budget for All creates a fairer system by asking those who have benefited most from our economy to pay a sensible share. The Budget for All ensures everyone can achieve the American Dream if they just work hard and play by the rules. Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Chairman, we have no more speakers. I will reserve my time until the gentleman has concluded.
