BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. SCHAKOWSKY. Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman for yielding me the time.
My colleague across the aisle from Texas is feeling really proud of himself, because he thinks he found a Medicare cut in the Democratic alternative. Excuse me, we are talking about $800 million more for Medicare over the next 5 years. So he is just flat wrong, but there are a lot of things wrong in this budget.

It is true that when we talk about, well, it is just 1 percent, it is just a little bit here or there, we are talking about a $2 billion cut in Medicaid. What is that about? Medicaid? We are talking about the poorest of Americans, many of whom, by the way, are working 7 days a week or 5 days a week trying to earn a living and still do not have benefits. Their children are doing without.

Yes, it is true, we are talking about senior citizens in nursing homes. Medicaid pays for two out of three residents in nursing homes, one out of ten residents in assisted living facilities in addition to home-based and community-based care. We are talking about 52 million children, disabled persons, persons living with AIDS, parents, senior citizens who rely on Medicaid.

Is this what fiscal discipline is really about? Is this what we want to cut in this budget?

The Blue Dog budget, the Black Caucus budget and our Democratic alternative leave Medicaid intact because that is what government is supposed to do, help people when they need health care.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. SCHAKOWSKY. Mr. Chairman, I rise today against the Republican budget and for the Democratic and CBC alternative budgets.

The members on the other side of the aisle describe their budget as one that "recognizes the fundamental obligations of the Federal Government." It does no such thing. In fact, it is nothing short of a political document that turns a blind eye to our obligations.

The House Republican budget is indefensible. House Republicans followed the lead of President Bush and passed a budget that goes after the poor, the homeless, and the elderly. Republicans value more tax cuts for the rich over meeting the needs of senior citizens, working families, the unemployed and the majority of Americans. Medicaid and Section 8 vouchers are slashed so they can pay for missile defense, subsidies to Halliburton and tax cuts for the wealthy.

The Republican budget cuts and underfunds programs that have been proven to strengthen our country and provide opportunities for the future. The so-called "education President's" own No Child Left Behind is underfunded by $8.8 billion. While college costs have skyrocketed, the GOP budget keeps the Pell Grant maximum at the same level it was three years ago. There is no money for the Family Opportunity Act, which would provide health insurance for disabled children. It tells my committee, Energy and Commerce, to make $2.2 billion in Medicaid cuts over the next five years, jeopardizing health and long term care for 52 million Americans.

Section 8, low-income heating assistance of LIHEAP, child care assistance-programs that help people pay the bills and keep roofs over their head in tough times like these-are cut by $3.7 billion. We could see 250,000 people lose affordable housing this year under the GOP budget. Veterans' health care is underfunded again, this time by $1.3 billion below what the Republican Chairman of the Veterans' Affairs Committee recommended. Over the next five years, the Republican budget will cut these and other domestic programs by $36.9 billion. At a time when so many families are worried about jobs, health care, and education, this budget puts their future on the chopping block.

Parents cannot afford to send their children to college. Seniors cannot afford their housing, heating bills or medicine. Veterans have to wait for months to see a physician at the VA. Teachers still have to buy their own school supplies. Democrats offered a clear alternative to the destructive plan Republicans pushed through Congress. We will continue to fight for a fair budget that will fund America's true priorities.
