tipton: i thank the gentleman for yielding. mr. speaker, generations of americans from now will stand in judgment of the choices that we make today. in my district, as i've traveled and visited with people from the farm and ranch community to small business owners to families around their kitchen tables, the message is clear. they're frustrated that washington does not live under the same rules that they do. those families gather each night to be able to balance their budget. small businesses do it every day. 49 of our 50 states balance their budget. and the question is always rised -- raised, why doesn't washington live under the same rules? we look at our european counterparts right now. greece, itsly, struggling under -- grease, italy, struggling under their crushing debt, will we follow that same path or will we pick a better way? mr. speaker, the time has come, the day has arrived and the hour is now. we have an opportunity to stand up for the american people. the one thing that we can all understand as we debate the different
