Cardin: Going To Be a Tough Year If the Pres. Won’t Work with Us on the Budget

RUSH EXCERPT:

CARDIN: "I think we’ll — very early, January 19th is the deadline for getting the budget done. We are already three months into this fiscal year and we don’t have a budget. The way the budget is handled I think will be an indicator of whether we can have bipartisan cooperation. It’s not just the budget for the year. We have disaster relief for the people of Texas and Florida, California and Puerto Rico. We have the immigration issues that need to be dealt with now. And I think the manner in which that is handled can set the stage for Congress, Democrats and Republicans, working together. Or if they can’t — if the president won’t work with us on that, it’s going to be a tough year."
