Sometime around midnight last night the Senate passed a $3.55 trillion federal budget, the largest ever. The plan passed 55-43, without a single Republican vote and two Democratic Senators switching sides to vote with the dissenting GOP.
Earlier in the day the House passed a very similar plan and the budget now heads to conference committee to edge out the final details. The House vote was also along Party lines, 233-196.
The passage allows President Obama to move forward with his plans on health care, energy, education and deficit reduction. Four areas that were sorely lacking under the previous administration.
