Mary Landrieu actually said...

There's no way around it. And until we can figure out a way to put more private and public money on the table, we're not going to get there.

And I agree with the Senator that we have to think big, but we're going to need a bigger budget to do that.

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.
