Senate Passes Budget Deal

While most of America slept, the U.S. Senate voted… passing a two-year budget.

FOX News Radio’s Rachel Sutherland reports from Washington:

The spending bill passed by the Senate just hours ago boosts military and domestic spending and most importantly averts a partial government shut down in December. The bill also raises the debt limit through 2017.

In a statement this morning the President said he applauds the Democrats and Republicans who helped to pass what he called “a responsible, long-term budget agreement that reflects our values, grows our economy and creates jobs.”

The President said he will sign the the bill once it reaches his desk.
