A Budget Deal Made

Most of this year,The Brutal cuts have wreaked havoc on vital programs,cutting off hundreds of thousands from Head Start programs like the Department Of Health and Human Services and low-income housing assistance,setting back scientific research and environmental protection,and costing more than a million jobs.Passing a budget bill that reduces the defict was a high priority for House and Senate budget negotiators, they achieved much of what they wanted,the budget deal was reached on tuesday Representative Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin, chairman of the House Budget Committee, and Senator Patty Murray of Washington, chairwoman of the Senate budget committee were the ones to make the budget deal,that would raise military and domestic spending over the next two years, shifting the pain of across-the-board cuts to other programs over the coming decade and raising fees on airline tickets to pay for airport security. The deal reduces the defrict by 23 billion dollars and paul ryan said to it will not raise taxes either.Cuts for nondefense discretionary domestic programs this fiscal year, adding back $31.5 billion over the next two years to be divided among departments like transportation, education, and health and human services which in my opinion are indispensable programs.Patty Murray, the Senate negotiator, resisted Republican demands for new cuts to safety-net programs. As a result, money will soon start flowing to programs that have been not doing good all year.But the details of the agreement show that Republican loathing of taxes and domestic spending continue to dominate the budget debate.To save money for those at the very top, new federal workers will have to pay more for their pension plan. The cost-of-living increase on pensions for military retirees younger than 62 will be reduced. And the security fee built into every airline ticket will rise by as much as $5 a ticket, making travel more expensive for all
passengers,personally that does not affect me too much because i dont travel by airplane,well not yet.

I think The deal is too small to affect long-term growth because Republicans wouldn’t consider big investments needed to improve education and training. It will not provide enough for cities and states to undertake major infrastructure repair, putting people back to work. And because it does not provide for the extension of jobless benefits that expire on Jan. 1 for 1.3 million people, it fails to fulfill a basic responsibility to the long-term unemployed.The agreement will extend cuts to Medicare providers for two extra years, 2022 and 2023.
