Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-Channahon) today voted in support of a bipartisan budget deal to reduce the deficit, fund the government through 2015, and replace damaging cuts to national security programs with targeted reforms to mandatory spending. The deal was authored by House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Senate Budget Chairman Patty Murray (D-WA) and represents the first bipartisan budget agreement produced by a divided Congress in 27 years. While I would have liked to see our long-term fiscal problems more fully addressed, this bill takes important steps to replace the damaging cuts to our national security and reduce the deficit all without raising taxes on hardworking Americans, said Kinzinger. Americans elected a divided government and they still expect us to work together to do our job. With this deal done, I hope we can turn our focus to other challenges facing our country, such as addressing our long-term fiscal health and creating the jobs that Americans are desperately asking for. The budget agreement, also known as the The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, would result in a $23 billion reduction to our deficit over ten years through a combination of changes to federal programs and mandatory spending cuts. The deal also replaces $63 billion in across-the-board spending cuts over the next two years, which, according to defense experts, would have disastrous effects on our military readiness and modernization programs. The bipartisan agreement overwhelmingly passed the House 332 to 94. The agreement will now move to the Senate, where Senators are expected to take up the legislation next week.
