"I can give assurance that social security and most other benefit checks will be paid on schedule."

"The practice of loading the budget with unnecessary spending—and then waiting until after the eleventh hour to pass a Continuing Resolution on the assumption that it was safe from a Presidential veto—..."

"I don't think the people should take less than that."

"But I'm glad for this extension so that no one's holidays were disrupted."
