Senate GOP, Dems reach deal to move major domestic spending bill
By Alexander Bolton - 07/31/18 03:38 PM EDT

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Tuesday that he has reached a deal with Democrats to move a major spending package next month that would fund the Pentagon, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Labor.

The Labor-HHS spending bill, as it’s known, is the biggest domestic spending appropriations bill passed by Congress, and it usually languishes until the end of the year because of partisan fights over the cost of social programs.

But McConnell wants to move it to the floor in August, along with a bill funding the Defense Department, a top Republican priority, months earlier than in recent years.

“We have an agreement with the Democrats to take up in a few weeks a combination of Labor[-HHS] and Defense,” McConnell told reporters on Tuesday.

So much for the Constitutional requirement for spending bills, to originate in the House.

Ryan is a huge disappointment. Failed VP, Quitter speaker, etc.

Uh, yeah right.  More spending on social programs.  No end to illegal immigration.  I believe in private funding.  Do any of these politicians want to fund the social programs for illegal immigrants?  Maybe the corporations?
