Thank you, Father Dan Coughlin, for your service. Mr. Speaker, as Americans know, today is the annual Tax Day, April 15. I bring this up because, finally, the President has joined in the discussion of our country's dangerous deficits. On Wednesday, he announced his scheme to reduce the out-of-control deficits his administration promoted--raising taxes--proving yet again that liberals still look to the tax man to solve their inability to manage a budget. Americans do not want this. The tea party is correct: taxed enough already, T-E-A. Raising taxes on small businesses does nothing but kill jobs while keeping unemployment levels above 9 percent. Liberals miss the point: The Federal Government does not have a revenue problem; it has a spending problem. Cutting spending and borrowing needs to be the topic of discussion. Raising taxes does not. House Republicans continue to lead the way to limit spending. Courageous Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan has presented a commonsense plan which brings current reckless spending under control. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
