mr. gutierrez. if we are truly serious about reducing our long-term deficits we must look at the whole picture, a picture that includes defense. there can be no sacred cows or pork. today defense spending comprise 20% of defense spending. mr. quigley: yet it is the only part of this budget that's exempt from the tough cuts facing all of the departments. the osprey is one of the most egregious examples of waste in the defense budget, yet d.o.d. continues to request this costly, ineffective machine and with due respect, the only threat that amendment pose it is it doesn't pass, it could kill our own troops. even worse, congress continues to fund it. the osprey was originally created to allow marines to carry troops and cargo faster, higher and farther than the traditional helicopter. now the osprey is 1 6% over budget and costs $1 million per unit to produce and is not to fly in extreme heat, excessive sand or under fire. sadly this aircraft has killed 30 marines in accidents. the government accountab

mr. gutierrez: the bill will cut $25 million from the ryan white, h.i.v. aids program, the drug assistance program, which is a last resort for the poorest americans who don't qualify for medicaid or medicare. currently there's a waiting list of over 6,000 people in six states to receive benefits from this program. $850 million in reductions to the c.d.c.! an organization who first has to defend us against diseases. $850 million. that's smart. let's just cut and make america more vulnerable. the bill cuts $1.6 billion in n.i.h. so i guess we won't need any other research since we're going to let the diseases run rampant in america. it goes so far to say in the district of columbia, we're even going to tell you how to spend your very last dollar. but it gets better. community health centers, community health centers where the most vulnerable are treated for their health, $1.3 billion in cuts. community health centers will lose the capacity to serve 11 million patients over the next year and well over 3.3 million current patients losing their care within the
