[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 156 (2010), Part 9] [House] [Page 12009] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]WE NEED TO GET THE DEFICIT UNDER CONTROL (Mr. BRADY of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Mr. BRADY of Texas. Before coming to the floor, I was with two couples from back home. Lisa and Fred Koetting and George and Jeanette Coiner and their grandchildren were up here visiting. Mr. Coiner said his goal in life is to make sure he helps leave a country that is better for his grandchildren than the one that his parents bequeathed to him. They are, like all of us, so worried about the deep debt this country is amassing each day, $10 trillion of new debt over the next decade if these spending plans go forward. On top of a failed stimulus bill, on top of the 2,000-page health care bill no one read, this week Congress is going to take up an almost 2,000-page bill that will institutionalize bailout and, I think, harm our economy. We don't have a budget for the first time in 40 years, and this week they're going to make up budget numbers. We're not going to have a vote on it, not have a debate. We haven't funded our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. They need money, but it's hung up because people here want to spend it on other things. We've got to get this deficit under control. We have to do it or we're putting an anchor around our children's necks. ____________________
