Peterson Statement on House Reconciliation Act
“Everything must be on the table if we are going to have a serious conversation about getting our budget under control.

Since we know this isn't going anywhere the only thing that will likely come out of this vote is an even more divided Congress."

It is appalling that in an attempt to avoid defense cuts the Republican leadership has elected to leave farmers and hungry families hurting."
