Congress introduces $1.3 trillion, 2,232-page funding bill, hopes for passage this week
(Worthy News) – House and Senate lawmakers introduced a $1.3 trillion fiscal 2018 spending bill late Wednesday night, and hope lawmakers can pass it all in the next day or two.
The 2,232-page bill includes increased spending for military and domestic programs above current spending caps. The bill was introduced after the four top leaders in the House and Senate reached an accord early Wednesday over policy riders and border security funding.
Republicans and Democrats alike praised the legislation, even as it was criticized by some who said it’s unrealistic to choke down such a huge bill in a matter of hours. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
