Patty Murray actually said...

"These programs have long provided low-income Americans with safe, affordable housing and shelter in times of crises."

"Neither the taxpayers nor the millions of people who rely on these programs can afford waste or inefficiency."

"The truth is these cuts are having an impact. And in so many cases, it is an impact that is being felt by the most vulnerable in our society."

"These families are paying the price for the fact that Washington, DC, continues to lurch from crisis to crisis instead of compromising around a balanced deficit reduction plan."
