Got $1.6 Billion to start Wall on Southern Border, rest will be forthcoming. Most importantly, got $700 Billion to rebuild our Military, $716 Billion next year...most ever. Had to waste money on Dem giveaways in order to take care of military pay increase and new equipment.
WASHINGTON — The Senate passed a mammoth $1.3 trillion spending bill 65-32 early Friday, narrowly avoiding a partial government shutdown. While the bill passed with bipartisan support in both the House and Senate the 2,232-page proposal drew fierce objections from conservatives and liberals alike.

The House vote, 256 to 167, came earlier in the day after limited debate and no amendments. President Trump has signaled he will support the bill.
