mr. pascrell. mr. pascrell: thank you, mr. chairman. i'm honored to be on the floor with two great congressmen, congressman pallone and congressman lance. three of us served in of the new jersey legislature. john adler was a great new jersey senator. he was everything but a harvard man. in other words, he didn't act like a harvard man. you could connect with him. he was a human being, above everything else. he was tenacious on the campaign trail, but more valuable as a public servant. he took what he did very seriously. he was sincere, very hard working, he did his homework before each vote. he would never allow anyone to lead him by the nose to vote, very independent their, not unlike pallone and lance. not a trenton guy, not a washington guy. came here to do a job. and i could not believe when i heard the news, a 51-year-old young man, compared to me, he's a young man. he had so much to give and he gave it. and he really loved the public whom he served. he will be greatly missed by democrats and republicans on this floor. to his wife

mr. pascrell: sorry, mr. chairman. this misguided budget is a doubling down on the same failed policies that we know don't work and brought us to the brink. with our ranking member did not point out is that there was a loss of 653,000 jobs in those eight years. where there was in the previous eight years, a gain of 20.8 million jobs. you want to go back and use the same policies? you tried it in privatization. we are going to have this over and over again. you don't know what to bring back and go back to the same old playblook. the american people rejected privatization of social security and they reject this. every poll, even your polls show that the american people do not want to do away with medicare as it is. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman is remind todd address his remarks to the chair and not to other members of the body. the gentleman from maryland reserves. the gentleman from wisconsin. mr. ryan: i yield two minutes to the gentleman from texas. . mr. flores: i know that america can a
