House approves $3.6 trillion budget blueprint

The white house approved a budget blueprint. It was drawn to and by President Barack Obamas specifications Thursday. Afterthat the Senate quickly had to follow suit after administration friends rejected alternatives. The vote in the House was 233-196. This was for a $3.6 trillion plan that includes a deficit of $1.2 trillion. Republicans in both houses accused Democrats of drafting plans. They think that the plans would or could hurt the economy in the long run. It would make it worse rather than help it. A Republican did something in the House. There were 38 GOP lawmakers voted against a plan. These plans were supported by their own leadership. Officials described much of the opposition that called for eliminating traditional service. The days events took a busy three months.This was for the Democratic controlled Congress that took office in January. Lawmakers have made a $787 billion economic measure. This cleared the way for release of $350 billion in financial industry funds. It as well approved an expansion of childrens health care. Plus Obama legislation setting aside more than 2 million acres in nine states as protected wilderness. That's all I know about this subject of the house approving the 3.6 trillion budget.
