Where is their plan? We have been asking for their plan for now going on over 6 months. Where is their plan? Where is their plan on terrorism? Where is their plan on defending this Nation? Where is their plan on special education? Where is their plan on prescription drugs? Where is their plan on Medicare? Where is their plan on Social Security? Where, where, where in the name of God is their budget? They do not have a budget; the Senate does not have a budget. The only plan for the American people to look at is the plan that was passed here in the House of Representatives by the President of the United States and the House Republicans. Why is that? Because they are devoid of ideas, they are unable to act, and they are unwilling to lead; therefore, we must. Now, this is a new phenomenon. The great Democratic Party that led us many times in our history is disappointing America with absolutely not one scintilla of an idea. We want to do it in a bipartisan way. We are worried about the family budget today. It is not the Federal budget. Wake up.
