Mr. PAUL. Mr. President, the President is fond of calling for a balanced approach. Today, I rise in this body to offer a balanced approach to budgets. I offer a budget that balances in 5 years.

This budget is called the Revitalize America Budget. It reforms and saves Social Security and Medicare, making them solvent for 75 years; it creates millions of jobs by letting taxpayers keep an additional $600 billion of their income; it repeals ObamaCare; and it requires Congress to vote to approve or disapprove all major regulations.

Our ever-expanding debt is costing us millions of jobs a year. It is time to stop burying our kids in debt. I suggest a vote for this 5-year balanced budget.

I yield the floor.
