Political Quotes

“there is very good news tonight. I have just locked in an agreement to pass the government funding bill tomorrow, without amendment, and avoid an unnecessary government shutdown. American families can rest assured now that their lives won't be needlessly upended due to an unnecessary government shutdown. This agreement ensures that the Senate will take up the CR after the House passes it tomorrow, which is well before the September 30 deadline. The CR will give Congress more time to continue working on the appropriations process to fund the government before the end of the year. As I have said all year, the only way to get things done is with bipartisan support--bipartisan support. Now, I appreciate the work of all the leaders to move forward with this CR. This is how things should be done--without brinksmanship, without delay. I hope--I truly hope--we will continue to see the same bipartisanship in the Senate when we return and we work to fund the government. ____________________”
