Says the ONLY way to meet the goal is to expand the economy and make it work again. Need to listen to the American people. Need to fix both jobs and budget. Need to examine our consciences. Says that current path is unsustainable, but says our values are to take care of the sick and the less fortunate and to give kids opportunity. Need to find not just common ground, but higher ground. Says it is "our turn" and that they will find a bipartisan solution and he wants to get to work.

Kyl

Says that he is struck by commonality of what was said (he then summarizes the Republican talking points) He then said that he wants to issue a warning to any who think this will be easy (WHO THINKS that??) Says that time is less than most think because of need to have CBO score it - says may be needed by end of October.
