Senate Approves 1.1 Trillion Spending Bill


.

The U.S. Senate late Saturday night approved a $1.1 trillion spending bill that funds the government through next September, supposedly averting a partial government shutdown and sending the measure to President Obama's desk.  The Senate voted 56-40 for the long-term funding bill, the main item left on Congress' year-end agenda.  The measure provides funding for nearly the entire government with the exception of the Department of Homeland Security, which will be funded until February 27.  Click on the above link from FoxNews.com.
