Judd Gregg: “You know, the United States is one debt deal away from leading the entire world out of economic doldrums.”

If our goal is to reach a deal, we should not get engaged in this fight.

It makes no sense whatsoever, and it's apparently--certainly makes no sense for the same people to be urgently arguing to deal with climate change and then either quiet or urgently opposed to nuclear power.

I subscribe to Senator Gregg's emphasis on value-based reimbursement. I think we're making progress on Medicare. It's not hopeless.

To get this done, you are going to have to have compromise--compromise on both sides of the aisle.
