It is clearly not a working road map for success. If the House Republican's ``work harder to get less'' budget were adopted, here is a sample of the pain and misery that will be visited on working families: an end to higher education tax credits, an end to needed increases in the child tax credit, the loss of access to tax credits for the Affordable Care Act, a reduction in tax rates for the wealthy, yielding average tax cuts of $200,000 for millionaires financed by a $2,000 tax increase on the typical working class family. Mr. Chairman, this ``Price is not right'' budget will make it harder to get to the middle and working class parents to send their kids to college, ending these higher education tax credits and cutting student loan programs and Pell grants. The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentlewoman has again expired.
