the President is fond of calling for a balanced approach. Today, I rise in this body to offer a balanced approach to budgets. I offer a budget that balances in 5 years. This budget is called the Revitalize America Budget. It reforms and saves Social Security and Medicare, making them solvent for 75 years; it creates millions of jobs by letting taxpayers keep an additional $600 billion of their income; it repeals ObamaCare; and it requires Congress to vote to approve or disapprove all major regulations.

The Senator from Washington.
