Mary Landrieu said "Madam President, I will speak for just a moment, if I could. I know people in Washington and people in America do not believe we can actually eliminate a program. We are getting ready to eliminate one now in a bipartisan fashion to cut funding and to cut a program that has not worked. I just want to underline that we most certainly can do that in a bipartisan way. That is what this vote is about. I do not believe there is any opposition, so I yield back the remaining time." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
