"We want to stop this nonsense from happening. We want to abide by the full faith and credit of the American people because that is who we represent."

"the harm from default would take not just a short term to recover from, but I think it could take a decade to recover from."

"I want to achieve comprehensive immigration reform. It does not mean I am willing to shut down the Government until the House of Representatives does what I want."

"It is about people who are retiring. It is about people who want to finance a house and they cannot even go and get approval because now we are shut down."
