WASHINGTON -- Senate Democrats are preparing a catchall government funding bill that denies President Barack Obama money for implementing signature first-term accomplishments like new regulations on Wall Street and his expansion of government healthcare subsidies but provides modest additional funding for domestic priorities like health research.
The measure that was released Monday is the product of bipartisan negotiations and is the legislative vehicle to fund the day-to-day operations of government through Sept. 30 -- and prevent a government shutdown when current funding runs out March 27.The bill comes as Washington girds for weeks of war over the budget for next year and beyond.Have more to add?
