And I will quote from that letter. This is a letter signed by Chris Dodd, our former colleague who served on the Foreign Relations Committee, and Joe Biden, when he was a ranking member of the Foreign Relations Committee back in 2005. Dear…
I rise to mark another sad record for the Senate: 1,387 days since the Senate has passed a budget--1,387 days. The last time I checked the 2012 election was over, and of course it has been over for more than 3 months now. Unfortunately…
