Donnelly quoted Hoosiers from Crawfordsville and Nineveh, Indiana, who had written to him asking for Congress to start working together and to start solving our country’s challenges. “We are at a critical point in our ongoing economic recovery.” Donnelly said. “In the next week, this Congress will decide whether to keep the federal government open and operating. In the weeks ahead, this Congress will decide whether to continue to pay the government’s bills—our bills. We can go one way—the responsible way—and show the American people that we are capable of working with one another. Or, we can continue to yell at each other to score political points, refuse to be realistic about the need to find common ground, and shut down the government and stop paying our bills—the bills we are responsible for.” Watch Senator Donnelly’s speech calling on Congress to keep the government operating, pay our bills, and move on to job creation here. As Donnelly continued his remarks, he offered three bipartisan, common sense ways that Congress could do something to help the economy.
