"WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Democratic-controlled U.S. Congress on Tuesday approved a $410 billion bill to fund most of the government through September 30, sending it to President Barack Obama despite Republican objections to the price tag.
After a contentious fight the Senate, by voice vote, approved the bill which funds the departments of transportation and agriculture, among others. It also begins to roll back strict limits on travel and trade with Cuba -- a move Obama supports.
"It takes care of these government agencies that have been, over the Bush years, so underfunded," said Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, referring to President George W. Bush's administration.
Many Republicans fought the measure because it raised government spending by 8 percent above fiscal 2008 levels. They said it added more money to programs already funded by the $787 billion economic stimulus package approved last month." More pork (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090310/pl_nm/us_usa_budget_2)

The really sad part is that they think they're saving America doing it.
2010, people. True change comes in 2010. Republicans will steamroll both houses of Congress and President B.O. will simply be a greasy stain that got in the way.
