I'm absolutely confident we're going to be able to work out a compromise that everybody can live with.
It is large, it is comprehensive, and it deals with reconciling the budget in a way that will be fiscally responsible.
I am convinced that we’ll be able to adjust the dial, so to speak, so that we can come to an agreement that will meet the criteria that everybody has and that we can move this thing forward.

It will probably be tomorrow, only because we need the joint tax people, the number crunchers, to do all of that work tonight.
Medicaid is hugely problematic because it has a lot of fraud, waste and abuse.
