Walking through a basement corridor on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2013, House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., is pursued by reporters on the morning after a budget deal was worked out between Ryan and Senate Budget Committee Chair Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash. After Ryan presented his plan to the House Republican Conference this morning, Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, and GOP leaders signaled support for the deal, which was one of a few key measures left on Congress' to-do list near the end of a bruising year that has produced a partial government shutdown, a flirtation with a first-ever federal default and gridlock on President Obama's agenda.
