"There's a lot we can do to fix our broken budget process, but process reform can't work unless members of Congress have the will to make it work."

"Americans deserve a real debate about our fiscal future and the budget process is an appropriate form for that debate."

"It has been 874 days since the Senate even bothered to try to pass a budget."

"Congress created a budget process that was intended to prevent this kind of ad-hoc policy making."
