Representative David Price (D-NC) issued the following statement today on the bipartisan budget deal announced by Congressional leaders. Rep. Price, a senior Appropriator, is the ranking member of the House Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee. Time and again, Republican leaders have put our economy at risk with artificially-created budget crises. I am hopeful the budget agreement negotiated by House and Senate leaders will prevent another shutdown and reduce the prospect of Congress again damaging the economy. The agreement would also allow Congress to finally write and pass appropriations bills that set investment priorities and hold executive branch agencies accountable for spending taxpayer dollars. The plan falls short of the comprehensive budget agreement required to get our economy back to full strength and our fiscal house in order. But it averts sequestration's mindless, across-the-board cuts and makes room for investments in education and infrastructure that will help boost the economy and strengthen the middle class. For these reasons, I believe the budget agreement is a small step in the right direction. It remains to be seen whether Republican leaders will be able to deliver enough Republican votes for this compromise to pass. Reaching agreement on a budget is central to our responsibility to govern. While I understand this will be a tough vote for members who have pledged to oppose any compromise, we are elected to do what's best for the country, not the Tea Party. # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
