House Passes Government Funding Bill

On Wednesday, the House of Representatives voted on a funding resolution that will keep the federal government running through September.

The 2022 fiscal year package is $1.5 trillion, including $13.6 billion in aid for Ukraine. There is also a 5.6% increase in overall defense spending to $782 billion.

The bill “boosts discretionary domestic spending to $730 billion, a 6.7% increase,” reported the Daily Caller.

Included in the package is the Hyde Amendment, which bans federal funding of abortion. Most Democrats are in favor of eliminating it.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said “Republicans fought hard, over the objections of many Washington Democrats, to give our Armed Forces the resources they need. And we won”.

“This agreement provides significantly more money than the Biden Administration requested for defense and significantly less money than the Administration requested for non–defense,” he added.

According to the Daily Caller, the “resolution ultimately passed in two components, with the defense portion passing 361-69 and the non-defense passing 260-171”.

There was a rush to introduce and pass the resolution since House Democrats were scheduled to leave for their yearly retreat Wednesday evening. The bill was released by the House Appropriations Committee around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday morning.
