12/12/2014


The massive $1 trillion “CRomnibus” spending bill squeaked through the U.S. House of Representatives with a 219-206 vote on Thursday night.
Among those voting against the unpopular spending bill were 67 Republicans, including conservative favorites like Reps. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and Dave Brat (R-Va.)

The Senate still needs to vote on the bill before it heads to President Barack Obama’s desk, but Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) reportedly said there would be no vote on Thursday. In order to avoid a government shutdown, the House also approved a two-day stop gap budget to give the Senate time to vote.
