Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) said, ‘Nobody did!’ The $1.1 trillion bill will fund the federal government for the rest of fiscal year 2014, which ends on Sept. 30, 2014. Sixty-four Republicans and three Democrats voted against the legislation. The final vote was 359-67. The legislation was opposed by conservative groups and conservative members of Congress. The bill increases federal spending by $44.8 billion this year over the spending level previously set by Congress.”
