Chris Murphy said "I think the passage with the Republican and Democratic votes of the economic stimulus package shows that this Democratic Congress has the potential to reach across the aisle and push back on a lot of these policies that we have been talking about today. This is bad news, the President's budget he submitted to us. It is not a good budget for people, for families, or for fiscal discipline. But the good news is that we have shown a record here of being able to work together, Republicans and Democrats, to be able to push back." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
