Pat Ryan actually said...

"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."

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

"Thank you very much. Thank you for your indulgence and your time. This is something we have to wade into, because I think all of us agree the system is not working to the extent that it needs to."
