James Moran said "I am worried that we will not maintain this momentum of fiscal responsibility. The Spratt budget is very much like the Senate budget. That is why I suggest it is a doable budget. It is very much like the President's budget. And would the gentleman not agree that the balanced budget agreement of just a few months ago reflected our concerns, was a responsible instrument? The Spratt budget is virtually the same as the balanced budget agreement. It continues the balanced budget agreement, it continues our commit to fiscal responsibility. That is why it is doable, and that is why the Republican budget is not doable, because it departs from the balanced budget agreement that we agreed to just a few months ago. That was my point, and I think it is a very valid one, and the Senate happens to agree with us. That is why I want my colleagues to vote for this budget." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
