Written by House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan and Senate Budget Committee chairman Patty Murray, the bill will provide $63 billion in temporary sequester relief and $85 billion in mandatory savings. It will eliminate waste, cut corporate welfare, and make needed reforms to autopilot spending. On net, the bill will reduce the deficit by $23 billion over the next ten years. The Senate will take it up next week. \r\nUpon passage of the legislation, Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin made the following statement:\r\n\u201cI want to thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for supporting this bill. It reduces the deficit\u2014without raising taxes. And it does so by cutting spending in a smarter way. It doesn\u2019t go as far as I\u2019d like, but it\u2019s a firm step in the right direction.\r\n\u201cThis agreement will stop Washington\u2019s lurch from crisis to crisis. It will bring stability to the budget process and show both parties can work together.\r\n\u201cI want to thank Senator Murray for her hard work on this agreement. And I\u2019m confident her colleagues in the Senate will pass this bill.\u201d\r\nClick here to learn more about the Bipartisan Budget Act.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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": ["http://paulryan.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=364321"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.2701830128207803, "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"}
