"Congress must fill this sinkhole to ensure that we will be able to pay promised Social Security benefits."

"It is important we extend these benefits, that we do it now; that we not have another two-month extension."

"As for unemployment, clearly the economic policies of the Obama Administration did not produce the vigorous recovery, for which hardworking taxpayers hoped."

"There is a strong bipartisan consensus in Congress to extend both of these expiring provisions through the end of this year."
