The President not only signed his name to that continuing resolution that the gentleman voted for, I believe, and I voted for to allow Government workers to go back to work, with a promise from the President that he by the end of the year would come up with a balanced budget, scored by CBO, that would balance over the next 7 years, buy the end of the year.

He is the gentleman that stands in the way of the Government workers from going back to work.
