Patty Murray actually said...

"The budget we recently passed in the Senate provides a path forward that balances responsible spending cuts with necessary investments."

"I am concerned for the Maine housing authority directors, with whom I recently met, who told me they are being forced to reduce spending at the expense of families in need."

"This debate is about more than just numbers, it is about people's lives and the Nation's values."

"I am always glad to see strong representation on the Republican side of the dais here."
