I am very proud to have him in the Senate, but I am more proud that he is on the Budget Committee.

It is nothing more than what it says. It doesn't affect anything. To the extent we dropped some of her provisions, there were scores of sense-of-the-Senate resolutions in this budget that we did not take. What we did keep was something for which the distinguished occupant of the chair fought hard.
