US Representative (5th District WA) Republican Cathy McMorris-Rodgers :
“Is this a ‘perfect deal?’ As Speaker Boehner has said many times, ‘no.’ It can’t be perfect when House Republicans control only one-half of one-third of the government. But it’s another big step forward in our efforts to bring fiscal sanity to our nation and to preserve the American Dream for our children and grandchildren.”
