Madam Speaker, with the Democrats in control, millions of jobs have been lost. The main job creation has been in the Federal Government, not the private sector. The national debt has doubled and the national deficit has tripled. Taxes have gone up and will increase even more at the end of the year. And the Democrats in the House haven't even bothered to propose a Federal budget. If a budget is not approved this year, it will be the first time since the Budget Act was enacted in 1974. One party controls the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the White House. We need a political balance in Washington, not a one-party monopoly. ____________________
