the chair will recognize mr. baca for a request from california. >> move to strike the last word. >> the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. >> mr. chairman, i oppose this amendment. this is a misguided amendment that would substitute $16.5 billion in s.n.a.p. cuts in the underlying bill for the $33 billion in s.n.a.p. cuts that were already included as part of the budget reconciliation process. this doubles the damage of the current misguided proposal we have before us. in addition to the cuts, it includes the underlying bill. this amendment would eliminate the recovery act, s.n.a.p., increases causing benefits, levels to drop by over 13%, deepen the standard utility allowance cut by $14 billion. eliminate indexing for s.n.a.p. nutritional education funds, critical to fighting the growing obesity crisis. we have a moral obligation to help put food on the table for americans struggling to get by these tough, economic times. unfortunately, this amendment returns us to the irresponsible policies of the ryan budget

mr. baca: madam speaker, tomorrow the house agriculture committee will mark up the farm bill that will devastate many of our children, seniors, and veterans. this misguided bill will cut $16 billion from snap program, a program that puts food on the table for over 46 million americans. . this debate isn't just about the numbers. there is a human cost. if these cuts are allowed to stand, two million to five million low income individuals will lose snap eligibility. 280,000 children will lose access to free school meals. these children may have the only meal that they're provided to them in school. and it will change their attitudes and their behaviors in school. 210,000 households in my state of california will receive reduced benefits a lot lower. in california six million people rely on snap. including two million children. in my district they suffer from the fourth highest rate of food insecurity in the nation. it is a moral responsibility that we protect the snap program. we must pass a res

mr. baca: madam speaker, the american people need congress to take full action to create jobs. while our economy is slowly improving, unemployment rate at 11.9 in my home of san bernardino county. in the last 500 days since the republicans took control of the house, they have refused, i say they have refused to move forward a real plan to put more americans back to work. instead of working to create jobs, republicans have passed a budget that gives away $3 trillion in tax breaks to big corporations and ultrarich. end medicare as we know it. by turning a program into a private voucher system. just last week the republicans again voted to repeal the affordable care act which benefits millions of americans. it's time to stop the political game and get to work on finding real solutions to the problems we face. we must end the bush tax for the rich, protect medicare, and work to create new jobs for all americans and assuring we don't outsource those jobs as well. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the chai

mr. baca: madam speaker, the american people need a tax plan that will help grow the middle class and create jobs right here in the united states. the american people want jobs to take care of their families. sadly the republicans are holding the tax breaks for 98% of the americans hostage so they can prevent billionaires and billionaires from paying their fair share of taxes. the bush tax for the ultrarich has failed, i state, has failed to create new new jobs. they must be -- any new jobs. they must be allowed to expire. but instead of working together, i state, instead of working together on a bipartisan tax plan to straighten our economy, republicans are pushing for a plan to balance the budget on the backs of seniors, on the backs of seniors, and the middle class, and end medicare as we know it by tushing -- turning it into a private voucher system. congress must stop protecting billionaires at the expense of medicare and the middle class. let's work together, let's work together on a bip
