Pat Ryan actually said...

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

"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."

"only principled compromise can help move us forward for the good of the country"

"the only thing that stands between divided government that works for the country and dysfunctional government is the willingness to compromise."
