The Daily Quote
“When Congress returns for business on Tuesday, lawmakers have scheduled a mere 12 legislative days to find a bipartisan compromise to keep the government open… Some conservative Republicans, turning to a familiar playbook, are threatening to refuse to vote for any spending bill that provides federal health care money to Planned Parenthood… The Republicans, who would like to see money diverted from Planned Parenthood to other health clinics, are using a tactic they employed in 2013, when they refused to vote for a bill that did not include the delay of the Affordable Care Act and a repeal of a tax to pay for it — resulting in a 16-day government shutdown… [M]any just want the government to keep going, with as little drama as possible. ‘I am very concerned,’ said Representative Charlie Dent, Republican of Pennsylvania. ‘I don’t think we need to go do a replay of 2013. It would be an enormous tactical and strategic blunder.’” - New York Times, 9/7/2015
