David Cicilline actually said...

"The proposal that we are dealing with in Congress right now has two problems with it. Number one, it will fail."

"America pays its bills. Extending the debt limit is not about incurring new obligations; it is about honoring past obligations."

"An overwhelming majority of my constituents do not want this Congress to cut Federal initiatives that serve them."

"The Federal Government has an obligation, a sacred responsibility to prepare our children for a competitive global economy."
