“the preceding 1 minute could not have been more false. Today's budget raises the debt limit again, today's budget will add deficits in each of the years of its operation, today's budget will bring the national debt to $9.6 trillion, and to hear words on the floor of this House about this being a budget of fiscal discipline, this being a budget responding to the concerns of taxpayers worried about red ink, that is pure unadulterated hooey. This budget is a fiscal catastrophe. It raises the debt limit in May, just after we raised the debt limit in March. Anyone thinking that the Nation's finances have spun completely under control under the consolidated power of this administration and this Republican Congress needs only to look at this budget and only needs to look at the fact that they are back at the bank one more time, raising the debt limit, to understand the deep trouble that we are in. ____________________”
