If you don't like it because it doesn't have a whole list of ornaments on the Christmas tree, I am sorry, but the fact is that we are keeping the government funded. By the way, I would remind my Democratic colleagues, we could actually do our appropriations work if my senior Senator from New York passed a single, solitary appropriations bill on the Senate floor. He passed exactly zero. The fact is, we have to keep the government funded. That is our responsibility. The Speaker pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
