“I particularly thank him for his leadership in structuring a budget that I am convinced, unlike the President's budget, speaks to the shared values of the American people, speaks to the priorities that our Nation needs to pursue, meets the challenges our country has, and ultimately goes to the very heart of turning this economy in a much different direction so that it can work for working families. Under his leadership, we have a budget that I am proud to support on the floor of the Senate. And whether you live in the East or West or North or South, I think Americans will find this budget, as they become more fully aware of it, is one that has the integrity, the honesty, as well as the purposes to meet the challenges. The chairman deserves enormous credit for working with all Members on both sides to try to achieve those goals, and I appreciate his leadership. Madam President, this week in the Senate, we are fighting for the economic future of America.”
