WASHINGTON (AP) — House and Senate budget negotiators say they’re not close to an agreement but plan to keep at it.

“We’re trying to find common ground but we’re not there yet,” said House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis. He said Republicans and Democrats have spent lots of time in the recent past airing their differences but it’s now time to find a way to strike an accord. “The hard part is figuring out where we agree,” Ryan said.
