Bob Corker said "if I could have everybody's attention, according to CBO, this is paid for the old way, where we spend all the money in a year or two and then it is paid for over 10. This body came together last August in a bipartisan way to put in place the Budget Control Act, and this bill violates the deemed budget by $2.5 billion. This will be the third time we violate the Budget Control Act deemed budget. For all of those people who are meeting in the evenings, meeting in groups in rooms trying to solve our Nation's fiscal issues, a vote to waive this motion says we don't have the discipline, the courage, or the will to do what we told the American people we would do to try to get our fiscal house in order. I urge my colleagues to vote against this motion to waive right now. Thank you, Mr. President. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority leader." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
