And as far as the budget goes, it's time for responsible Republicans who share these goals - and there are a number of folks out there who I think are decent folks, I've got some disagreements with them on some issues, but I think genuinely want to see the economy grow and want what's best for the American people - it's time for those Republicans to step up and they've got to decide what they want to prioritize.
