Senate Budget Chair Patty Murray (D-WA), the author of the Democrats’ budget on the Senate floor, issued a swift and critical statement upon House passage of the Paul Ryan budget Thursday morning.

“I am disappointed that instead of moving toward compromise and a truly balanced approach to tackling our economic and fiscal challenges, House Republicans decided to double down on the failed policies that the American people rejected just a few months ago. The pro-growth budget being debated in the Senate today offers a responsible path toward a balanced and bipartisan budget deal, and I am hopeful that Republicans will now be ready to join us at the table so we can come to an agreement that works for middle class families and the economy.”
