text: After too many years of brinkmanship and political games, we have a budget that sets a path forward to get Congress back to work on real issues. This deal is not perfect, but compromises rarely are. IÛªm pleased this budget undoes a large part of the senseless cuts of sequestration while taking a balanced approach to increasing revenue while cutting spending.   IÛªm disappointed the budget does not extend unemployment benefits that will expire for 25,000 jobless Washingtonians at the end of this month. This has to be a top priority for Congress early next year.
