The House has approved a massive spending bill anchored by $13.6 billion for battered Ukraine and its European allies
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi of Calif., speaks during her weekly news conference, Wednesday, March 9, 2022, on Capitol Hill in Washington. WASHINGTON — — The House approved a massive spending bill Wednesday night that would rush $13.6 billion in U.S. aid toafter top Democrats were forced to abruptly drop their plan to include fresh funds to battle COVID-19.
The House approved the overall bill in two separate votes. The measure's security programs were overwhelmingly approved by 361-69, the rest by 260-171, with most Republicans opposed. In a remarkable and widespread rank-and-file rebellion, Democratic lawmakers froze the House into inactivity for most of Wednesday. Their demand: a refusal to accept Republicans' insistence that the new COVID-19 spending be paid for with cuts in previously enacted pandemic aid to 30 states.
Democrats won a 6.7% increase over last year in domestic programs, to a total of $730 billion. Republicans were able to boost defense programs to $782 billion, a 5.6% increase. The IRS would get an infusion to whittle down a big backlog of tax returns. There would be boosts for veterans' medical care, biomedical research and processing migrants entering the U.S. at the southwestern border.
