Mary Landrieu actually said...

"This budget is wholly insufficient, and it's not your fault, Madam Chair. It's our fault as the general Appropriations Committee."

"I can honestly say, of all the committees I serve on, there is no budget that is in more crisis than this one."

"It's going to bankrupt us. We have a problem as it is under the one-for-one."

"What that means is our economy is weaker every day that a ship has to be light-loaded or stand offshore because the channel isn't deep enough to come in."
