"Divided Government requires that Republicans and Democrats work together."

"I am very disappointed by the loss of this waiver, and I am extremely concerned about the impact it is going to have on our students, our teachers, and our families."

"You are only as serious about the debt and deficit as you are putting it in relation to other things."

"Late last year, after the Government shutdown and debt limit scare, Republicans dropped their demands and joined with Democrats to re-open the Government."
