Dire needs across this great Nation demand Congress' attention: Zika virus, the crisis in Flint, the opioid epidemic, not to mention the ongoing needs for education, infrastructure, jobs, and security. Yet, Republicans will miss tomorrow's statutory deadline to pass a budget. The majority's ``Road to Ruin'' budget would devastate good jobs, end the Medicare guarantee, and increase poverty. Even this was not cruel enough for the most extreme voices in the Republican Conference who demand cuts that will hurt hardworking American families. The majority's internal dysfunction is preventing Congress from investing in job creation, economic growth, and help for the American public. My friends, it is time to end the games, address the dire challenges we face today, and invest in a brighter future for tomorrow. ____________________
