now, madam president, we began the year with serious and i believe ernest conversations about this with not one but two groups of lawmakers in the house and senate. yet despite all the talk and hard work, rather than nearing an agreement, we seem to be coming to an impasse. in the last few weeks, the state of negotiations seem to have fallen apart with key players choosing to walk away rather than compromise. we hit the same roadblock that always inhibits a, when things get -- action when things get tough. politics get in the way. and in fact it seems like, madam president, everybody in the world except the congress seems to know that time is running out. just think back to april. standard & poor's cut the u.s. ratings outlook to negative, due to uncertainty over the budget deficits and the debt ceiling. this month moody's piled on warning that it, too, may downgrade the u.s. ratings's outlook to negative as early as july. it is july 6 -- because of concern over gridlock here in washington. and i have to say, the american people are running out of patience as well. back home in colorado
