| http://paulryan.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=355757 | Ryan on Washington’s Missed Opportunity | 2013-10-16 | 2013 | 2013-10 | Republican | House | WI | Paul Ryan | R000570 | paulryan.house.gov | legacy | House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin issued the following statement on tonight’s vote: “Today’s legislation reopens the government and averts default. It rejects Democrats’ demands to increase spending. And it sets a precedent for further changes to Obamacare. “But it’s also a missed opportunity. To pay our bills today—and to make sure we can pay our bills tomorrow—we must make a down payment on the debt. Today’s legislation won’t help us reduce our fast-growing debt. In fact, it could extend the debt ceiling well into next year, further delaying any action. In my judgment, this isn’t a breakthrough. We’re just kicking the can down the road. “That said, I hope both sides will work together in the months ahead to pay down the debt, provide relief for families, and grow the economy. I look forward to convening the first conference on a budget resolution since 2009. And though a budget resolution by itself can’t resolve our spending problem, I’m committed to making a bipartisan budget conference a success.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
