US House Passes $3.55T Budget Resolution

The U.S. House passed a $3.55 trillion budget blueprint that would clear that way for President Barack Obama’s major policy initiatives but which saw heavy criticism from Republicans for expanding the reach of the federal government.

The resolution would set funding levels for fiscal year 2010, which begins October 1. The bill contains slightly less spending than Obama’s $3.6 billion budget blueprint.

The House passed its version of the budget resolution by a 233-196 vote. No Republicans voted for the resolution.
