Political Quotes

“I want to pay Federal employees. That is why I have the bill that is on the floor right now that I am trying to move. It will pay Federal employees. It will pay contractors as well. But everybody who is being shorted right now should be paid, and that is what my legislation does. So we could do that. You know, I am happy if the Senator wants to take my legislation and put his name on it. I will support it, and we will pass it right now and send it there, and people are going to get paid. So if the Senator really wants to do that, we could do that today. Does the Senator want me just to put his name on this bill and then we will pass it?”
