These cuts are real. They are measurable. This is what the American people need to know, something that is accountable. This puts in place a 10-year budget. The United States Senate, under Harry Reid's leadership, has not had a budget in 3 years. There's no end to their spending without a budget. American families have budgets. Why doesn't the U.S. Senate? So this bill puts in accountability, 10 years' worth of accountability. It puts in controls in spending, across-the-board triggers. And finally, it has cuts to it. Again, Madam Speaker, American families have had to tighten their belts. Washington must do the same thing, and that's what we're doing here today. I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this legislation and ``yes'' on the rule.
