Dan Kildee said "I served on the Committee on the Budget very well. I know how the Committee on the Budget relates to the Committee on Appropriations. I referred to three committees. The real legislative committees here are the Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on Ways and Means, and they hold in their hands really the hope for any of these programs. If the Committee on Ways and Means cuts revenue, that makes it more difficult for us to fund these programs. Unless the Committee on Appropriations acts, these funds will not be appropriated.
