Robert Byrd: “If Congress cannot pass a budget, then we should not be paid.”

The reconciliation process was designed to facilitate legislation to reduce deficits. Instead, the process has been used to enact multi-trillion-dollar tax cuts that led to record deficits over the last 8 years.

There's been a savings of 29,000 lives because Congress saw fit to act in 1969.

The path of wilderness legislation can be as rugged as the land itself.
