Chuck Schumer: “as Senator Dole said, as the Member of the other body said, enough is enough. The majority leader the other day said it.…”

“as Senator Dole said, as the Member of the other body said, enough is enough. The majority leader the other day said it. The American people are saying it. All of the House Republicans, who are becoming extremists, "Shut the government down unless you do it exactly my way," they can blame this on the President, but everyone knows that is not the case. He has exercised his veto power because he wants to see the COPS Program continue, the cops on the beat which are helping our neighborhood. Look at the choice we are putting law enforcement in. We are saying either knock out the COPS Program, which every major police group in America supports, or all our brave Federal law enforcement people get half pay. Shame on us. FBI agents, half pay? DEA agents, risking their lives, half pay? And now we are telling them that they may not get health benefits next week? Young Federal law enforcement people who go out and risk their lives?”
