Bipartisan Budget-Conference Agreement is Introduced

[Origanalist]

Early Tuesday evening, Senate Budget committee chairman Patty Murray (D-WA) and House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) announced a new two-year compromise budgetary agreement. The agreement was released ahead of the December 13 deadline and is intended to avoid another government shutdown in January.

“I’m proud of this agreement,” said Chairman Ryan. “It reduces the deficit—without raising taxes. And it cuts spending in a smarter way. It’s a firm step in the right direction, and I ask all my colleagues in the House to support it.”

“This agreement breaks through the recent dysfunction to prevent another government shutdown and roll back sequestration’s cuts to defense and domestic investments in a balanced way,” said Chairman Murray. “It’s a good step in the right direction that can hopefully rebuild some trust and serve as a foundation for continued bipartisan work.”

Reactions to the budget agreement were decidedly mixed. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) released a statement calling the budget a continuation of Washington's "irresponsible" decisions, and said that Americans deserve better. President Obama referred to the deal as a "good first step."

I've heard conservative groups say it's a bigger big government plan then the current plan. It's Republicans saying they support higher spending and that they caved to Democrats. in other words, the most recent partial-government shutdown is going to end up making the government bigger :(

When you see the word bipartisan, look out. And from what I gather, it wipes out the sequester and relies on "future savings". We all know how that will work out.
