"I would just suggest that the data that is coming in is indicating this is not working so well, and the forecast is for it to get worse. I hope we will get off this path."

"I hope we can work together on a bipartisan basis to create jobs, grow the economy, invest in our middle class, and expand opportunity for more Americans."

"Are we expanding opportunity for all Americans? No matter where you come from, we are all better off if everyone in our society has the opportunity to succeed."

"I truly hope Republicans are willing to join us at the table once again to talk about this critical work of investing in jobs and our security in a balanced and fiscally responsible way."
