I think the Senator is right. This Senate is filled with remarkable people, but I think our colleagues on the other side are paralyzed, frankly, by the challenge of putting a plan on paper that can actually be examined, the numbers calculated, and ideas confronted. I think their problem is they are not able to produce a budget their caucus will support, that the American people will support, and that would actually get the job done. That is a difficult challenge. But if you want to be a leader, you have to meet that challenge.
