“The Budget for All rearranges our national security spending priorities in a way that keeps America safe instead of keeping America bogged down in expensive, immoral wars. By bringing our troops home from Afghanistan, we save over $1 trillion over 10 years. We reinvest that money in the American people, their education, their health care, their infrastructure, their retirement security, and their hopes and their dreams. There's money left over to beef up SMART Security priorities-- development, diplomacy, foreign and humanitarian aid--the tools that will truly combat terrorism and protect our Nation in the 21st century. We get rid of ancient, obsolete Cold War weapons systems that are doing nothing to address today's security threats as well. We also take care of our veterans, and we dramatically reduce our nuclear arsenal. I urge all Members, read this budget and embrace it, because it truly reflects the values and priorities of the American people--the Congressional Progressive Caucus' Budget for All. Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Chairman, I am pleased to yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Flores).”
