Cornyn on the Need for Congress to Pass a Budget.

Published | Video Starts at 15:38

We just need to all get on the same page so we can get down to work. So I would like to urge all of my colleagues to remember Budget reconciliation not only allows us to allocate resources to places like the southern border that have been flat out ignored by the Biden administration, but it's also a tool to reduce spending, inefficient, wasteful spending and to right size our priorities. You know, budgets are all about priorities. We have things with we must have, we have things we'd like to have and we have things we want but we can't afford. (15:38–16:03)
