The Senate has passed a $1.1 trillion compromise spending bill that funds the government through September. The bill, approved by the House on Wednesday, now goes to the President for his signature.
The spending plan rolls back some past spending cuts, while raising federal worker pay and that of members of the military. It also protects disabled veterans and some military spouses from a pension cut set to go into effect in 2015.
In the partisan atmosphere of an election year, the spending bill may be the largest policy decision Congress makes in 2014. Compromise on the spending bill is a break from years of congressional funding fights like the one that led to the partial government shutdown last October. Ref. CNN
