this does not belong on the House floor tonight. This budget belongs on ``Laugh In.'' This is not a budget. It is two-headed tax cuts. It is a two-headed flim flam. The economy is in crisis. The economy has lost 70,000 jobs per month every month of the Bush Presidency, and the Republican Congress tonight abdicates its responsibility to lead. A few years ago, the Committee on the Budget Chair came to this House floor with a bag on his head. If I brought this budget to the floor tonight, I would ask where is that bag when I really need it? This budget is a disgrace to this institution. It fails its responsibilities to this institution, to the country, and to every person who is out of a job looking for economic leadership to put this country back together again.
