This bill falls short.\n\n\u201cThis legislation is an important first step away from the Democrats\u2019 reckless spending agenda. It cuts funding for new Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents, claws back billions in unspent COVID funds, and adds work requirements for welfare programs.\n\n\u201cIt does not do enough to match the seriousness of the moment and the dangerous debt crisis our country is facing.\n\n\u201cThis is a missed opportunity to get government growth under control and put our nation on a sustainable fiscal path. Much more needs to be done if we\u2019re serious about tackling the debt and beating back inflation.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:15:57Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.barrasso.senate.gov/newsroom-news-releases-barrasso-statement-on-senate-vote-to-raise-the-debt-ceiling/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0689785704016685, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
