Contract Type FiledAugust 23rd, 2017and our military. With this agreement the Republican leader just mentioned, we have done just that. Democrats and Republicans have come to a responsible agreement that puts the needs of our Nation above the Republicans’ partisan agenda. While this agreement is not perfect, it does address both invest- ment in domestic priorities that ben- efit the middle class and defense spend- ing. It helps us avoid a major threat to jobs and the general economy. The time to do away with the devastating sequester cuts that are harming our middle class and military is not in the future. It is right now. Democrats hope to end sequestration for the good of our great country.
