"Working together is essential to help the middle class."

"It will continue reducing our deficits without gutting the vital assistance programs millions of hard-working Americans count on to help put food on the table for their families."

"Today my administration is taking action to accelerate the development of lifesaving drugs."

"As with any compromise, the farm bill isn't perfect, but on the whole, it will make a positive difference not only for the rural economies that grow America's food, but for our Nation."
