Well, today the Republicans are unveiling yet another Republican budget that would ensure hardworking Americans have to continue to work harder and get less. Our country deserves a budget that puts these hardworking families first, not this damaging budget that guts middle class priorities making it harder to buy a home, harder to send your kids to college, and harder to have a secure retirement. It is all at the expense of handouts to special interests. This ``work harder, get less'' budget continues to squeeze the middle class by keeping wages stagnant, cutting student loans, and privatizing Medicare. House Democrats stand ready to pass a budget that invests in our families so that they can take home bigger paychecks, send their kids to school, and save for retirement. The Republican budget takes the tools that build the American Dream away from hardworking Americans to give bigger tax cuts and bigger tax breaks to the superwealthy. Mr. Speaker, I hope that my Republican colleagues will work with us in a bipartisan fashion to fashion a budget that works for all Americans. ____________________

One persistent problem that I have been focused on for the time that I have been here in Congress, both in the United States trade agreements and broader trade agenda, is the issue of forced labor.
