mulvaney: mr. chairman, it occurred to me during the budget debate that something was missing from the debate. as my colleagues across the aisle offered their various amendments through the course of the day and into the evening, it occurred to me that the president's buppingt had not been offered as an amendment -- budget had not been offered as an amendment by the democratic members of the house budget committee. and that as we were getting information about which amendments were being offered here today on the floor, as amendments to the overall g.o.p. -- budget, it occurred to me that again that same oversight had taken place. clearly it must be oversight. clearly my colleagues meant to offer the president's budget as an amendment and simply failed to do so. so in a peek of bipartisanship, i thought it -- i'd help my colleagues across the aisle out a little bit and offer the president's budget which is exactly what this amendment is. this amendment is the president's budget as analyzed, not sco

mulvaney. it's -- mr. mulvaney: it's easier to borrow money. the reason we borrow money is because it's easier to dado that than go home and say, we have to make difficult decisions to balance the budget and we're afraid if we go home and tell people we need to make tough decisions, they won't send us back term, and in many people's minds coming back next term is foremost in their mind. later today we'll take up the democrat budget which also never balances. budgets that never balance raise a legitimate moral question, a moral issue. if you borrow money with the intention of paying it back, that is debt. there's no we of -- no question. if you borrow money, intened -- intending to pay it back, that's debt. if you borrow money never intending to pay it back, that is theft. that is theft. that is what the president's budget represents. that's what the democrat budget represents. that's what so many budgets over the course of the last generations in this town have represented. we have borrowed money with no plan, no intention ever to pay it back.

mulvaney for a minute. >> i have very little to add to what mr. campbell said. in fact, it was perhaps the most reasoned and well balanced articulation of our philosophy that i've heard in a long time. i commend him for saying that. i do want to commend the gentleman from kentucky for the very least taking a position that tries to lower the deficit and doesn't actually spend the additional money. you heard me today talk about taxing and spending. this one at least is just taxing without spending. i have to commend you for that. you go ahead and take that slide down, mr. campbell made that point. i would encourage my colleagues to consider this. because we hear this a lot about the clinton era taxes. it is true. it is true that we had levels of prosperity during this country where we had higher levels of taxation. that does not mean that we had prosperity in this country because of those higher levels of taxation. and that raising our tax levels has nothing to do with getting us back to prosperity. in fact, the exact opposite is true. you encourage us on a daily

mulvaney. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for 1 1/2 minutes. mr. mulvaney: before we got a chance to vote on the president's budget, i received a copy of a press release from the white house and it encouraged that the house democratic leadership to vote for this amendment. it encouraged the democrats in the house to vote for the van hollen amendment which i thought was worthy getting up and talking about very briefly. it makes me wonder why the president didn't send a press release asking the democrats to vote for his budget. it makes me wonder what the president is thinking. does he like the van hollen budget better than his own budget? i mean, i guess there's some things to likes. the president raises taxes by $1.9 trillion. the van hollen only raises taxes by $1.7 trillion. the president's budget increases spending by $1.3 trillion. it makes me wonder where the president is. does the president think that his budget that he offered us a month ago raises taxes too much? raises spending too much? is it too big of a tax and spend document and now he

mulvaney. i think congressman garrett as well. during the budget hearing committee last week, too many in washington focused on the date of november 6. the dates we need to be concerned about our april 1 and january 1. just five days from now, the u.s. will have the highest corporate tax rate in the world. at a time when we have high unemployment, which cannot afford to the first on this list. at the end of the year, the bush-obama tax cuts disappear, burning americans with the highest tax increase in u.s. history. this requires a tax bill by september 15 of this year, for getting the scheduled tax increase. our job is to be revenue neutral with tax reform. we leave it up to the committee. it is critically important we prevent the tax increase from killing our fragile economic recovery. as the supreme court considers the constitutionality of obamacare, this incorporates the state health act -- medicaid reform. that embraces entitlement reform successfully and creates medicaid to a block grant program. it restores the 10th amendmen

mulvaney. i'd like to rise and speak in opposition to the administration's proposed 2013 budget plan. i'd like to speak about one particular issue of concern. despite the administration's emphasizing of the importance of cybersecurity, and the need to retain our technological edge this budget presents a stark contradiction to these priorities. key program areas that are essential to maintaining our nation's 21st defense initiative have been unreasonably slashed in this proposal. for example, the air force's science and technology cyberfunding has been cut 17%, over $1 billion has been put from the -- cut from the air force's total funding level for research, development, testing and evaluation programs. i can personally test to the innovative accomplishments produced by the air force research labs such as rome lab in rome, new york. for instance, the air force research labs for the first to institute computer network attack and exploitation as a formal science and technology discipline. secreta

mulvaney when we are all in the on the same team here. but we also have a duty to make sure we are spending this money as wisely as possible. let me finish up a reading a letter from commander of the u.s. navy reserves 21 years in the military tom pick grow from crawfordsville indiana. i met him for the first time just a few weeks ago. this is not a gotcha kind of letter but i want you to respond to it. appreciate if mike democrat as well as republican colleagues would appreciate what it's saying. this is after he talked about the 12 servicemembers who work natively electrocuted because of faulty wiring and battle attrition by defense contractors. station in the green zone i was assigned a living trailer that is joined a trailer too young contractors and it points. chipping there for while i struck up a conversation and found out they had a job running a network cable. when asked how they'd like to face it was so great to be working there and he was making over $3000 per year plus all expenses and he bragged if he could stay there for thr
