I thank my friend. There is no Democrat in this House. in the Senate. or in the White House who wants to shut down this government. As a matter of fact. we have not done that. It was done in 95 and in early 96. It was done last year when many in your party said "shut it down" if the President doesnt change his immigration policy. Any suggestion. Mr. Speaker. that Democrats want to shut down the government is simply incorrect. Now. what the minority leader has said in the Senate. I believe. is that. until such time as sequester is changed that it is not useful to waste time on bills that will not become law as we did. of course. many years during the Ryan budgets. which were never implemented. and they were never implemented in the House of Representatives fullynot once.
