This budget grows both the deficit and the national debt. The deficits in this budget would. according to the report accompanying the resolution. lead to another debt limit increase of $653 billionon top of the $3 trillion in debt ceiling increases already approved since President Bush took office. And still . . . this resolution makes deep and harmful cuts to critical services for working familiesincluding border security. education. and veterans services. Democrats offer a budget today. that this House will certainly reject. that does not include the harmful cuts to domestic priorities while still reaching balance in 2012. It has smaller deficits than the Republican budget. accumulates less debt. and returns us back to paying for what we pass.
