Congress clears massive spending bill in midnight vote


(Worthy News) – The House approved a $1.3 trillion spending bill Thursday to fund the government for the rest of fiscal year 2018 and the Senate followed suit early Friday morning, beating the shutdown deadline and leaving Republicans and Democrats to fight over credit and blame.

The bill was a testament to what Congress could do when both sides agreed to open the federal checkbook, with the GOP touting the biggest cash infusion for the military in 15 years, and Democrats saying they won billions of dollars in new spending on health care, education and infrastructure despite being largely shut out of power in Washington, D.C.

The White House said President Trump will sign the bill — even though he lamented he had to “waste money on Dem giveaways” to get the $80 billion in funding increases for the military and a first downpayment on a U.S.-Mexico border wall. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
