I dont know why the headline below appeared when posted. Heres the original headline: House approves $1.1T bill financing government WASHINGTON (AP) — Swapping crisis for compromise, the House narrowly approved $1.1 trillion in government-wide spending Thursday night after President Barack Obama and Republicans joined forces to override Democratic complaints that the bill would also ease bank regulations imposed after the economys near collapse in 2008. The 219-206 vote cleared the way for a final showdown in the Senate on the bill — the last major measure of a two-year Congress far better known for gridlock than for bipartisan achievement. Hours before the vote, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi delivered a rare public rebuke to Obama, saying she was enormously disappointed he had decided to embrace legislation that she described as an attempt at blackmail by Republicans. news.yahoo/spending-bill-teeters-amid-democratic-discontent-081145174--finance.html
