mr. flores. >> thank you, mr. chairman. as a cpa that's also been a person that created hundreds of good american jobs in the energy industry, i know there's two basic functions of budget to balance the budget. number one is set the expenses with the basic needs and with the realities that you're faced with. and secondly, and more importantly, you grow your income. in this case, this budget grows our national income in order to grow tax receipts to balance the budget. and our budget like i said deals head on with both of these basic economic principles. i want to discuss the latter and that's how to improve economic growth and thereby improve revenues. the obama economy let me start by saying this is hardest on the lowest income americans and resulted in to the lower labor force participation since the disastrous economic years of jimmy carter. the better way is to embrace energy revolution in the american job renaissance of a couple of years despite the administration's efforts to move us in a different way. for example, w
