EXCERPT:
KENNEDY: “Oh, we’ll end up passing something. I don’t know what that something will look like. Senator Johnson makes some good points. We do need to work towards spending less in this bill. I’m not real crazy about the changes that the House made, for example, to the SALT deduction. I will support reducing spending to the point that we run out of votes. I mean, we’ve got to pass a bill. And, you know, some people have a greater appetite for reducing spending — I’m one of them — than others. But we’ll get it done. If I were Senator Thune, though, I would give us a time limit. This can’t — this bill’s not like wine. It doesn’t get better with age. We’ve got to wrap this up on about the next 60 days and probably the president will have to get involved. It won’t be unanimous on our side. Senator Paul, who I respect, Rand’s not gonna vote for anything, ever. I mean, he’s just not. And so, you just got to throw that one away.”
