House Passes Budget

The House of Representatives passed a two-year bipartisan budget agreement Dec. 12 by a vote of 332-94, reducing the likelihood of another government shutdown next year.

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), chair, House Committee on the Budget, and Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), chair, Senate Budget Committee, negotiated the agreement, which sets discretionary spending at more than $1 trillion for the next two fiscal years and replaces sequester cuts that were scheduled to take effect in January.

The Senate is expected to approve the budget next week. President Barack Obama has indicated he will sign the bill into law.
