"The cuts they propose would deprive millions of people of health care: poor children, pregnant women, the disabled, seniors in nursing homes."

"We are determined, as Democrats, to try to work together and to try to work with the Republicans to achieve a balanced budget but in a way that is consistent with our principles."

"So for them to cause a shutdown, denying Americans the services their tax dollars support, as a tactic in the budget debate is wrong."

"We're going to keep working, trying to reach as much agreement among ourselves as possible."
