Max Baucus: “I hope we can find some reasonable accommodation, some compromise. There are 100 Senators here. Each has his or her own…”

“I hope we can find some reasonable accommodation, some compromise. There are 100 Senators here. Each has his or her own view as to what the right solution should be. Without sounding too trite and corny, we are a democracy, we have to live together. I hope we could find a way to get these provisions extended in a way with give and take, back and forth. Clearly, if I bring up a bill and it is my way, it is not going to pass. With all due respect to my friend from South Dakota, if he brings up his bill his way, it is not going to pass. The only way to get something to help the people whom we are here to represent is to find a compromise, working together in accommodation. I know the Senator looks forward to that. I hope we can achieve that result.”
