Allyson Y. Schwartz (PA-13), the number two Democrat on the House Budget Committee, released the following statement today after voting for House passage of the bipartisan budget agreement (H. J. Res. 59). “The bipartisan budget agreement is far from perfect but it is an improvement over current law and a step toward fully replacing the damaging sequester cuts that have cost Pennsylvania jobs and put our nation’s economy at risk. This agreement restores resources that are critical for Pennsylvania’s health and economic growth, including investments in early childhood education, public safety and scientific research at the National Institutes of Health. It also ensures that seniors continue to have access to their Medicare doctors while giving Congress more time to reach a long-term, bipartisan solution to repeal the broken Medicare physician payment system. “It is unfortunate that House Republican leaders refused to allow a vote to include an extension of expiring long-term unemployment benefits in the budget agreement. If Congress fails to act, more than 86,000 Pennsylvanians who rely on emergency unemployment benefits to pay their mortgage, heat their homes and feed their families will lose their assistance three days after Christmas. Congress should not adjourn for the year until we pass an extension of long-term unemployment benefits that will otherwise expire December 28th.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
