13. The budget was actually a straightforward compromise

Sat Feb 8, 2014, 05:16 AM

Feb 2014

Sure it funded the government at basically sequestration levels, but it also dealt a blow to Republican efforts to take hostages.

Sometimes you have to compromise in order to move legislation forward and govern. Warren understands this and that's why she's a good Senator.

Government is about governing.
