Doc Hastings said "Mr. Speaker, I have to agree with the gentleman and the points that were made by several Members that have spoken today, it does not do us any good to point fingers; but there are some things that have happened that we cannot ignore that we are dealing with. And one of the things that we are dealing with is that we have not passed a budget in the Congress. That makes it very, very difficult for both Houses to deal with their appropriations process with the same numbers. That is the difficulty. And, again, it does not do any good to point fingers at that, but that is the fact." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
