senator conrad, who is the chairman of the budget committee, has said he is not going to start on the next year's budget until we finish this year's appropriations. i think that probably makes sense so you know how much money there is left over, but wait a minute, there isn't any money left over. we're overspending. oh, well. as a grandpa, i do want to get this done so my grandchildren and children across the state of wyoming and across the nation aren't stuck with the consequences of our inaction. i hope that everyone here hopes that they never have to ask -- answer to any of their grandchildren why they had a chance to fix it, and they didn't. i don't think that will happen. i think we'll reach an agreement. i hope it's soon tonight. i yield the floor and suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: mr. sessions: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from alabama is recognized. mr. sessions: i would ask that the quorum call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection, so ordered. mr. sessions: mr. pres

i believe, chairman, senator conrad would be you willing to move forward with a realistic budget.ut majority leader reid and the president are not on board. we have already passed the budget scheduling -- we are supposed to have voted on a budget in the senate by april 15. we are behind in every step of the way, and i have not yet been notified from chairman konrad that there is any plan to have a democratic budget presented or any plan for a markup. so the real question is, where will the senate democrats be? will they be with the president's budget, unacceptable? you remember erskine bowles said it was nowhere near what we needed to be doing to avoid a fiscal nightmare, that budget that the president submits it. so that is where we are. i am hopeful, because i know a number of my democratic colleagues in the senate believe that we do need to do more and we need to get this country on the right path. we're worried about our future, so we're watching with great interest what will happen. >> i like to complement john boehner and paul ryan, the chairman of the budget committee, for

our chairman, senator conrad, who said so many good things -- our democratic chairman -- about the need to challenge the status quo and make changes to put our country on the right path, said representative ryan's proposal is partisan and ideological. he provides dramatic tax cuts for the wealthiest financed by draconian reductions in medicare and medicaid. his proposals are unreasonable and unsustainable. close quote. well, is this going to be the nature of our discussion? i thought we were supposed to be trying to reach a bipartisan understanding of the challenges facing us and do something about it. you saw what the president's own debt commission cochairman said respectfully of the ryan proposal. and this is what our leadership says. others have called it extreme. they say it's driven by these evil tea party people who don't know anything. they know something. they know the government is spending us into virtual bankruptcy and that congress has failed in its basic responsibilities to protect the nation from economic danger. the american people are right. well, so the president now s

senator conrad is working on some of these things on the budget. we have the bipartisan group of six looking at these issues. there is a lot of debate. i believe that we have to look at medicare and medicaid to get the budget down. instead of cutting the benefits, instead of handing it all over to the insurance companies and saying, you do what you want, we believe, and we're dying to make progress on this, that it is delivery reform. the american system on health care, if not the best, it is one of the best in the world. it costs a lot more to deliver that health care than we should. if you improve the delivery, health groups that pay a salary to doctors deliver less health care and better cost than those who do not such as places like the mayo clinic or the one in washington state or even an insurance company that does it. like kaiser permanente day in california. even the study when they look at the difference between two cities, the one where there was delivery and they were interested in a comprehensive delivery system at cost of half to medic
