ms. moore: ms. lujan grisham. ms. lujan grisham: my state is one of the hungriest states in the country. this will prevent the disabled and children and veterans get the help they need. it's estimated that 900,000 veterans nationwide live in households that rely on snap. in my district, at the air force base they have a permanent line for snap benefits for airmen and women. nearly 90% of snap beneficiaries live in households with a child a senior, or a disabled person. half of new mexico's snap beneficiaries are children. for millions of hardworking families across the country, snap provides a vital lifeline that helps make ends meet. the cuts in this budget to snap are shortsighted, ignore the savings, as you just heard about that are achieved by having healthier children and families. on behalf of 442,000 snap recipients in new mexico, i encourage my colleagues to support this critical amendment. i yield back. ms. moore: we yield back. mr. price: the gentlelady yields back. i'm pleased to recognize the gentleman fro

ms. moore: i thank you so much and thank the ranking member for yielding to me. i want to add my voice to those, congratulate everybody on the budget committee, particularly the chair and the ranking member, for their hard work and the staff that we put into this labor. i could tell you that i was indeed shocked, even though i've been on the budget committee for several cycles, i continue to be shocked at the -- at how this budget does not reflect what i call democratic values. and i mean democratic, not as a democratic party but as our democracy. i believe that our democracy is really at risk when we put forth such a budget. i think that this budget hallows out the middle class and based on the constructs we've seen in the past, it would raise taxes on middle-class families. i'm talking about those people earning modest incomes $50,000 to $75,000 a year, by $2,000 a year. and of course it abandons the poor. of the 5.5 trillion dollars 69% of this is on the backs of hoes -- of those who are the

ms. moore: mr. chair, i'd like a colloquy with mrs. black or mr. price. the chair: the gentlewoman from wisconsin is recognized. ms. moore: i was wondering if it were possible if the gentleman could yield the congressional black caucus maybe four to six minutes of your time. we have many speakers and we've worked very hard on this budget. and, you know, the majority gets its way but the minority ought to get its say. mr. price: will the gentlelady yield? ms. moore: it's your time, yes. mr. price: i appreciate the gentlelady yielding. the gentlelady from tennessee, mrs. black, controls our time. we have another speaker or two but as soon as your time expires and if we have time remaining then we'll be happy to yield some time to the c.b.c. ms. moore: thank you so much for that courtesy. the chair: the gentlewoman from wisconsin is recognized. ms. moore: thank you, mr. chair. it's really my privilege to discuss the social safety net programs that are at the heart of the congressional black caucus

real real now it's my -- ms. moore: i stood with friends of the movement, of all races from every state in the united states with civil rights people such as mrs. abernathy, mrs. bountyon, doris crenshaw and our own very colleague john lewis, who helped lead a march for better equality for all of america. but it was very very hard to celebrate -- it was a very sober mood in the crowd as we realized that the voting rights of americans particularly african-americans were under threat 50 years after the civil rights -- voting rights act was signed. and as the president said in his remarks, quote, right now in 2015, 50 years after selma there are laws across the country designed to make it harder for people to vote. as we speak, more of such laws are being proposed. meanwhile, the voting rights act, the culmination of so much blood so much sweat and tears, the product of so much sacrifice in the face of violence, the voting rights is weakened and subject to political rankor. as we think of those martyrs like james earl che

the chair now recognizes the gentlelady from wisconsin ms. moore for five minutes. >> thank you for rensin top of the morning to you secretary lew. welcome back to the committee. i know there are many international issues that are outstanding but it must be good to be sitting here with the domestic news, 59 months of private-sector growth and private-sector growth of 2.89 million the most since 1997 and i think her stewardship in the debt ceiling debate has been a powerful voice of sanity and i think that puts us in a really good position to have the united states be the world's reserve currency which i think it is extremely important. here's a question that i raised with chair yellen when she came and i would like to raise with you. i know that treasure is taking an aggressive stance to get to her but i want you to punish banks and bank employees that are involved in money-laundering screens as as those activities facilitate global terrorism and crime but i also would like for you to double down on being more surgical so as not to cut off legitima

i understand that ms. moore has a question? rep. moore: in the narrative part of the budget, there is a great deal of discussion for freedom and flexibility for states and really restoring the true meaning of federalism. states rights and so on. i guess i want to figure out how many of the programs are subject under this narrative to block granting. medicaid will be block granted snap will be block granted, what else? >> we will consider state flexibility funds. snap in the medicaid program would provide flexibility for states to tailor their approach. it is not a washington one-size-fits-all approach. rep. moore: what it really means is a first-come first-served method. entitlement to these programs would end with the block grants. >> on medicaid we assume we still spend $3.3 trillion over the 10 year window. >> what else is block granted? >> we have an option for opportunity grants which provide a flexibility for states to combine different low income support programs with new work requirements to identify efficiencies for themsel

ms. moore? >> thank you mr. ranking member, and thank you mr. chairman and members. i'm very concerned about the chairman's mark. it's very concerning. much ado is made over the redistribution of wealth republicans have really regaled with us this criticism for decades. but this budget sets the table for the ways and means committee to cut the top tax rate to 25%, thus shifting the tax burden to average americans who will pay at least $2,000 apiece for this tax shift. it ends tax credits not to welfare recipients but to hard-working, struggling parents who are trying to send their kids to school. it completely ignores the trillion dollars. much ado is made of the debt in this country but a trillion dollars a year is spent through the tax code with tax expenditures for offshore tax havens, gas and oil subsidies. in fact, 17% of the tax expenditures are consumed by the top 1%. there's much discussion about the national security interests and wanting to beef up our national security in this budget. but the greatest threat to our national security is not some foreign ene

i would like to ask ms. moorewhen congress goes into session, if she could possibly put up an amendment that states that anything purchase with the taxpayer dollars, whether it be state, local, or federal government, be manufactured here in the united states. whether it be a company that is now overseas, coming over here to set up shop and have our items manufactured here in the united states. guest: that is a very, kid issue. there are many regulations that say that a percentage of a product must be composed of american products. probably something that is not possible. you look at iphones that we carry. the components come from all over the place -- germany, and components from china, japan. other places in the world. and apple, you know, started here in the united states. i do understand the frustration that the caller brings. it is very difficult to promote our economy. we have trade imbalances, which is why there is so much discussion and wringing of hands about the trade agreement -- the tpp and other trade
