Political Quotes

“I thank the Chair. There were a lot of differences on both sides of the aisle, but we understood the importance of compromising, because it would have been impossible to get something through the New Hampshire legislature and get a budget to my desk if people hadn't been willing to compromise, if they had been continuing to play the kinds of political games we are seeing here in Washington. It is unacceptable. Congress can do better. We need to work together to pass this continuing resolution, and then to raise the debt ceiling later this year so we avoid the negative effect to families, to businesses, and to our economy. Thank you very much. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Rhode Island.”
