The House passed a 1,088-page, $1.1 trillion spending bill by a 221-to-202 vote. The Senate immediately voted to begin debate, with a final vote likely this weekend. The measure combines $447 billion in operating budgets with about $650 billion in payments for federal benefit programs like Medicare and Medicaid. No House Republican voted for the bill, and 28 Democrats, chiefly centrists and abortion opponents, also opposed it. The measure provides for spending increases averaging almost 10 percent to programs under immediate control of Congress. It also contains 5,224 so-called earmarks totaling $3.9 billion, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense, a watchdog group in Washington. Speaker Nancy Pelosi also confirmed that the chamber would vote to raise the cap on government borrowing, currently set at $12.1 billion. The increase in the debt ceiling is likely to exceed $1.5 trillion.
