have pleaded guilty. republican leaders in the senate are objecting to the budget bill just passed by the house. a bipartisan truce today in the senate ended a long floor session, clearing the way for debate about the budget. while democrats are hailing the house budget as a compromise, republicans say they won't support the bill because it removes some sequester cuts and doesn't reduce debt. >> not to vote for this because i would like to see us, at a minimum, stick with current law with regard to the total amount of money that we spend in washington. i think most of the american people are demanding nothing less than that. >> maybe we can build on some of what we've seen this week and turn it into something even better. >> i'm very much-- >> in the meeting with the nation's mayors, the president says if the deal is passed by tuesday, it would prevent government shutdowns for two years. the budget deal will impact how much it costs to you fly in the post-9/11 world. shannon travis has deals. >> reporter: an idea in the budget deal would cause you to

pay more to fly. the deal cuts out millions in forced spending cuts over the next two years. the deal proposes higher fees tacked onto airfare to help pay for tsa security, this scheduled 9/11 security fee established after the tsa was created after 9/11. when you fly, you're charged $2.50 each way, one or more connecting flights, up to $5 each way. but if this budget passes, starting july you would pay $5.60 each way, with or without connections. so instead of $5 in security fees for a nonstop round trip, you would pay $11.20. the logic? >> before 9/11, the person getting on an airplane paid for all of their security when they paid for their ticket. since 9/11, that person is paying for less than 40% of their security and the nonflying public is subsidizing the rest of it. we think the users should pay

for the services they are using. >> reporter: flyers say? >> going towards extra security or a little better security system going through the process, i would be for it. >> i would want to learn a little bit more as to why it's expensive to flie. >> reporter: some airline advocates argue the fee hike won't increase security or shorten airport lines. cnn reached out to airlines. all referred to a statement from airlines for america, a trade group that said, quote, airlines and our customers are already overtaxed and we are disappointed that fees on air travel were increased and believe those higher taxes will impact demand, jobs, and our economy. in washington, i'm shannon travis, ktvu channel 2news. oil paintings of government leaders can cost up to $40,000 apiece. you may recall this spring our washington bureau reported on a bill in the house of representatives to eliminate public funds for those type of portraits. now, a similar bill has been introduced in the senate. the legislation would set a $20,000 limit on government portraits, and it would
