"Where is the Budget?"
Floor Speech
Issues: Government Budget and Spending
* Mr. MARCHANT. Madam Speaker, for quite some time now, many Members have come to the floor to ask ``Where are the Jobs?''
* In addition to asking ``Where are the Jobs'', I am also asking where is the budget? With our national debt standing at almost thirteen trillion dollars, we cannot simply ignore our fiscal woes and hope that they will solve themselves. More than a month has passed since the April 15 deadline set by the Budget Act, and no committee or floor actions have been scheduled to address this missing budget.
* I call on the Majority to produce a budget so that we can have a debate on improving our fiscal condition. We must not continue to saddle our children and grandchildren with massive debts. Where is the Budget?
