The Senator from Indiana is very sincere as he has worked diligently and in a bipartisan way to tackle this budget problem. It is this Senator's hope we can continue those kinds of discussions we had a couple of years ago. Would the Senator agree that the shutdown situation we find ourselves in, however--which started for a different reason than the budget questions. It started for the reason of people wanting to defund ObamaCare--that the shutdown creates a crisis atmosphere in which it is very difficult to have those budgetary discussions the Senator yearns to have, as does his colleague from Florida?
