jeffries, is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the minority leader. r. jeffries: good evening. mr. speaker, it's my privilege -- in with my colleague >>s is my colleague -- it is my privilege to join with my colleague, mr. jeffries of new york, to co-anchor this hour with the c.b.c. to talk about something very important right now to the american people. and that is the budget. and who we will balance the budget on as far as how we move forward for the american people. you know, less than a month after the sequester, republicans have presented a carbon copy budget of their austerity plans of the past. the american people spoke loud and clear last november. they believe in investing in our recovery, turning our economy around and getting people back to work. they reject balancing the budget on the backs of our children, seniors, and the middle class. and yet, the ryan budget starts with the premise that the sequester is good policy, that the ultra wealthy deserve another tax break and we don't need to invest in our children or their future. so tonight, mr

[applause] , let it be a future you want for your children. in which a jewish democratic vibrant state is protected and accepted for this time and for all time. [applause] be many who say this is not possible. israel is the most powerful country in this nation. israel has a unshakable support of the most powerful country in the world. [applause] israel is not going anywhere. they have the wisdom to see the world as it is. this is in your nature. israel has occurred to see the world as it should be. -- current age to see the world as it should be. [applause] in order to be a realist, you must believe in miracles. sometimes the greatest miracle does recognizing that the world can change. that is a lesson the world has learned from the jewish people. that brings me to the final area i will focus on. broad

r. hall. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. hall: i rise in opposition to the bill and the under-- to he rule and the underlying bill. i watched when i came to congress as congress -- mr. holt: as they produced the work force investment act. i was impressed. this was the kind of thing congress should be doing. it was the kind of thing that made me look forward to the prospect of maybe going to congress someday. i remember david groder, then the dean of washington journal itself, wrote a column saying this is exactly the kind of thing that congress should be doing. and they were doing it in a bipartisan way. and here we are today, 15 years later, with an ideological, partisan dead end. now, let me make it clear. work force investment is what congress needs to do. the government plays an important role in training and fostering a strong and capable work force. the so-called skills act does not invest in the work force, rather it seeks to combine and reduce vital programs that workers need. as a member of the committee on educatio

recognizes the gentleman from new mexico, mr. lujan, for five minutes. mr. lujan: i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. r. lujan: mr. speaker, the house republican budget unveiled yesterday by chairman paul ryan is the repeat of the same tea party principles that have already been rejected by the american people. house republicans are once again determined to place the burden of deficit reduction on the backs of middle-class families while the wealthiest americans get yet another tax break. after wasting valuable time last congress, voting more than 30 times to repeal health care reform rather than focus on jobs and the economy, the republican budget again calls for its repeal. in addition, their budget ends medicare as we know it, and surprise, surprise, turning it into a voucher program that reduces benefits and leaves seniors paying higher out-of-pocket costs. while this budget blueprint is still lacking in specific details, it is clear that in order to meet the spending targets it outlines, house republicans will slash investments in key areas that are essential to economic growth and job creation, e

supports federal r&d which will help us make sure that growing industries and the jobs that come with them in the united states not in china or india. madam president, this budget also recognizes that getting our debt and deficit under control is crucial to our nation's economic strength in the coming years. so our a senate budget puts forward serious, responsible deficit reduction that reflects the recommendations of bipartisan experts and the values and priorities of the american people. back in 2010 the simpson-bowles fiscal commission recommended finding about $4 trillion in deficit reduction over ten years. this has become, as we all know, the benchmark for other serious, bipartisan petroleums. -- bipartisan proposals. building on the $4 trillion in deficit reduction, our senate budget punishes us past that $4 trillion benchmark with $1.85 in deficit reduction evenly divided between responsible spending cuts and new revenue from the wealthiest americans and biggest corporations. this budget cuts spending responsibly by $975 billion and we make some pretty tough choices to get there. and taking the balanced aproarvetion the american people have consistently called for, our
