I am disappointed that what could have been a bipartisan success has resulted in a bill narrowly passed by the Senate with the support of only three Republicans. Overspending is what landed our nation in the economic turmoil we find ourselves in today and the partisan spending bill passed by Senate Democrats only exacerbates this irresponsible behaviorincreasing our nations debt limit by nearly two trillion dollars to $12.14 trillion.
--U.S. Senator John Cornyn
