The House passed the bill Wednesday with an overwhelming 359-67, bipartisan majority.
The 1,582-page bill funds every agency
of government, pairing increases for NASA and Army Corps of Engineers
construction projects with cuts to the Internal Revenue Service and
foreign aid. It pays for implementation of Obama’s health care law.
