The bill would reduce the deficit\u2014without raising taxes\u2014and cut spending in a smarter way. \r\nUpon passage of the legislation, Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin issued the following statement:\r\n \r\n\u201cI want to thank Chairman Murray and her colleagues in the Senate for passing the Bipartisan Budget Act. She was a tough and honest negotiator in our talks. And this week, she worked very hard to secure final passage. I\u2019m grateful for her leadership in forging this budget agreement.\r\n\u201cThis vote shows both parties\u2014in both chambers\u2014can find common ground. We can work together.

But it\u2019s a small step in the right direction.\u201d\r\n \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=364818"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.9896759185940027, "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"}
