Senate Passes Budget Agreement

“The Senate passed a bicameral budget agreement Tuesday, following its adoption by the House last week and marking the first joint budget resolution to pass Congress since 2009,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

Politico: “In a drama-free roll call, the chamber voted, 51-48, to pass the deal that gives the Pentagon a budget increase next year but keeps domestic funding below spending caps set out in a 2011 deficit reduction law. It includes language to repeal Obamacare, which of course the president will block.”
