“I am very proud of the balance we have put forward in our budget that makes sure all Americans in this country participate in solving the great crisis in front of us in terms of managing our debt and deficit. We are doing exactly what the American people have asked us to do--making sure that everyone participates.

Mr. President, I yield 5 minutes to the Senator from Iowa. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Iowa.”
