it cuts $5.4 trillion from programs that american families rely on, programs like snap, pell grants, social security and health care. the budget ends the medicare guarantee. it cuts medicare alone by almost $500 billion over 10 years. a vote for this budget destroys american families in favor of a select few. this budget does not build a better america. i urge my colleagues to vote no on this budget and i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentlelady yields back the balance of her time. the gentleman reserves. the gentlewoman from tennessee is recognized. mrs. black: i reserve. the chair: the gentlewoman reserves. the gentleman from kentucky is recognized. mr. yarmuth: thank you, mr. chairman. i yield myself such time as i shall consume. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. yarmuth: we have had numerous letters submitted to us taking a position in opposition to this budget resolution and i think they're pretty compelling and i'd like to read from some of them. here's a letter from the main street alliance. main street alliance, a network of small business owners

it freezes the maximum level awarded by a pell grant at $5,900, covering just 23% of an education. compared to the 77% it covered in 1980. in addition it also cuts $3.3 billion from the pell grant surplus, which provides a much-needed reserve to cover the cost of future education. and if that's not enough, after students graduate, this budget makes it increasingly difficult to pay off student loans and steers graduates away from public service and teaching jobs by eliminating the public sector loan forgiveness and teacher loan forgiveness programs. our students and our teachers deserve a better deal than that. and i must say that we are suffering from three hurricanes. devastating hurricanes. yet this budget eliminates three programs that play very key roles in disaster relief. the community development block grant program, americorps and the legal services corporation are all eliminated. but this budget abolishes these programs that are literally supporting our relief efforts from harvey, irma and maria. and our nation's veterans, our nation's veterans, our bravest, are not spared
