“Senate leaders have reached an agreement on a two-year budget deal, adding billions of dollars in federal spending,” the Washington Post reports.
“The bipartisan accord would lift statutory budget limits by more than $200 billion and provide tens of billions of dollars in disaster relief funding. Senate leaders unveiled the deal Wednesday after months of negotiations — and after Senate Democrats agreed to set aside immigration policy demands.”
“The plan still faces head winds — particularly in the House, where conservative Republicans are balking at the increased spending and liberal Democrats want further assurances on immigration.”
