Debbie Stabenow actually said...

"There is bipartisan concern about making sure we are not cutting back on significant things like rural water infrastructure or small business."

"The economic benefit is twofold--new markets for our farmers, and new jobs and manufacturing opportunities for our businesses."

"It is unacceptable that there are small towns that cannot afford to modernize their water systems to provide clean drinking water."

"We should be making more investments in rural America, not less."
