Who said this?
"Last point I’ll make on the budget. The budget that passed out of the House included a whole range of what are called riders. These aren’t really budget items. These are political statements. And I want -- I’ve said, again, directly to the Speaker that we’re happy to discuss any of these riders, but my general view is, let’s not try to sneak political agendas into a budget debate. If they are interested in social issues that they want to promote, they should put a bill on the floor of the House and promote it, have an up or down vote, send it over to the Senate. But don’t try to use the budget as a way to promote a political or ideological agenda."
Hmmm...
