House narrowly approves spending bill, legislation heads to Senate | Fox News
House passes $1.1 trillion spending bill after week of drama - Jake Sherman and John Bresnahan and Edward-Isaac Dovere - POLITICO
Obama and Boehner strikes deal on a 1.1 trillion dollar bill that passes 219-206 with 57 dems voting to pass in spite of fierce opposition by Nancy Pelosi.
It now heads to Senate where Elizabeth Warren is leading the opposition due to a relax in a Dodd-Frank provision that prohibits banks from using taxpayer-insured depositor funds for derivative transactions. On the Senate floor, Warren said the changes in the spending bill would let derivatives traders on Wall Street gamble with taxpayer money and get bailed out by the government when their risky bets threaten to blow up our financial system. She added: These are the same banks that nearly broke the economy in 2008 and destroyed millions of jobs.
Battle awaiting in Senate.
