Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) compared Democratic calls to vote down a number of Republican budget resolutions as equal to saying, "I caught a fish, I had a party, send more money."

Sessions came to the Senate floor just after Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) urged her colleagues to vote against a number of budget resolutions the chamber will consider Wednesday.

"My colleague just said just vote no on all of them and keep us going. Don't go back,'" Sessions said. "When I hear that ... it is 'let's just keep on the path that we're on. This is good enough. Let's be happy. We're in Washington, here's the ladder. We're in Washington, we're having fun. I caught a fish, I had a party, send more money.' Isn't that what it's all about?

"Isn't that what we're hearing from the other side? 'Send more money,' " Sessions continued. "And we'll take care of things for you. We don't have to cut anything. We don't have to reduce spending. We're not really on an unsustainable path."

After Sessions spoke, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Republicans are willing to compromise with Democrats on a budget but said compromise is impossible when Democrats haven't put forward any budget plan at all. Paul spoke to promote his budget resolution that balances the budget in five years.

"People say, 'Why don't you compromise with the other side,' " Paul said. "We will, but they have to have a budget. If ours balances in five, and the other side will promote one that balances in 10, compromise would be seven-and-a-half."

Paul said the only Democratic budget put forward so far is from President Obama, which never balances.
