I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mine safety is a very serious issue. So is national bankruptcy. Under Democratic control, the deficit has exploded tenfold in just 2 years. We are seeing the national debt triple before our very eyes. We are borrowing 40 cents on the dollar from the Chinese and sending the bill to our children and our grandchildren. The Democrats have been on a spending spree that puts us on the road to becoming Greece. House Republicans are fighting back with a new program called YouCut, where the American people can participate in voting themselves to cut spending and to save their children money. And in just this week alone, 280,000 voted to cut a wasteful welfare program that has been associated with fraud. Mr. Speaker, the choice is simple: Either you cut or your children and grandchildren go bankrupt paying the national debt. Vote ``no'' on the previous question and vote ``yes'' for fiscal sanity. Vote ``yes'' for saving your children and grandchildren $2.5 billion that doesn't have to be borrowed from the Chinese.
