AZUZ: U.S. lawmakers and the president have reached a new deal concerning the government's budget. It will increase government spending by $300 billion over the next two years. About $165 billion of that would go toward the U.S. military, $131 billion would go toward programs like hurricane disaster relief, infrastructure 1 like roads and bridges, fighting opioid abuse and child care.
The agreement also raises the debt ceiling, that's a limit that Congress puts on the amount of money the government can borrow. The budget deal suspends that limit until March 2019.
U.S. President Donald Trump 2 signed the proposal into law Friday morning, saying the military would be stronger than ever and that the budget would help create more jobs.
But while support for the deal was bipartisan, with most Republicans and dozens of Democrats 3 voting for it, there was some bipartisan opposition 5 to it as well. Republican Senator Rand Paul filibustered 6 the bill in the Senate, holding it up on Thursday night, because he said he was uncomfortable with the amount of money the government spends.
For decades it's far outspent the money it takes in and dozens of House Republicans also opposed the bill for that reason. But after an overnight government shutdown because of the filibuster 7, the bill eventually passed in both chambers 8 and the president signed it on Friday morning.
One other political headline for you. Last Monday, we reported on a controversial memo 9 produced by Republicans on the U.S. House Intelligence Committee. But then it was declassified 10 by President Trump.
Last week, Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee produced their memo in response to the Republican one. But President Trump refused to declassify 11 it. He says it was very political and long and needed to be heavily redacted. The White House said the president was inclined to declassify the Democrats' memo once changes are made.
Representative Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat 4 on the House Intelligence Committee, says it was hypocritical of President Trump to block the release of the Democrats' memo and that the president puts his personal interest above all else. We'll update on this story if and when the memo is declassified.
