Nebraska Congressman Jeff Fortenberry defends the two-year budget deal as a way to avoid another government shutdown showdown…and an effort to bring stability to financing the federal government.
Fortenberry says he doesn’t believe the American public could go through another fiscal fight in Washington. . .

Fortenberry says it was not the type of agreement many wanted and not the best type of process to get there. . .

Fortenberry says the 80(B)Billion dollar increase in spending brings domestic spending only to 2011 levels. He says it also solves problems with the Social Security and Medicare budgets.
