Young Votes in Favor of Ryan-Murray Bipartisan Budget Act

Statement

On a vote of 332-94, the House passed the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, the budget agreement reached earlier this week by House and Senate Budget Committee Chairs Rep. Paul Ryan and Sen. Patty Murray. Rep. Todd Young released the following statement about his vote in support of the bill:

"I've always said we should replace the across-the-board and indiscriminate sequester with targeted, thoughtful spending cuts," said Young. "Because it achieves deficit reduction, reforms auto-pilot spending programs, and doesn't rely on tax increases, this Bipartisan Budget Act meets that criteria. This deal leaves much left to be accomplished, but it's a good first step."--Rep. Todd Young (IN-9)
