Unlike today's Republican bill, our proposal reduces deficits in a balanced way and prevents sequestration through a balanced combination of spending cuts and revenues. And let me say something: Nobody is asked to make a sacrifice in the richest country on Earth; what we have to do is make appropriate contributions. Nobody is asked to make a sacrifice--and certainly not the most vulnerable in our country, as does this reconciliation bill. Mr. Speaker, I urge opposition to this bill. We can and should do better.
