Bill Clinton: “We're working--look, we've got a majority in both Houses. The American people, I think, are astonished to find out that…”

On the recordApril 12, 1993
We're working--look, we've got a majority in both Houses. The American people, I think, are astonished to find out that 41 Senators, 41 percent of the Senate can shut the whole place down. And they've just got to decide, as I said, how many people they want to keep out of work and how many people we want to put to work. And I think we can work something out. I'm hopeful that we can. I know that there are people in that Republican Senate bloc that want to vote for a good stimulus program. I know they do. I hope they'll be released to do it. Bosnia
