WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- U.S. House Democrats, without a single Republican vote, passed a $447 billion appropriations bill Thursday to fund several government agencies next fiscal year.
The House approved the conference committee report on a 221-202 vote, over GOP concerns about spending increases.
Senate Democrats and Republicans were at odds over when to vote on the conference report that combines six of the seven remaining 2010 appropriations bills.

WIll the DemospLabRat expenditure ever stop? No Republicans or RINOs voted against the $447 billion expenditure bill, and it has driven up the total debt.
This is going to end badly. Anyone with a half a brain or blind as a bat can see it coming. God help us.
They are enemies of the state and we must treat them as such.
I wish I had a magic checkbook like congress does.
The currency presses are running overtime as we speak. Inflation is out destiny
Those are not brown coats. It's just that you can see right through them and they are full of crap.
Brown coat tailor = Sturmabteilung uniforms tailor?
Ohhhhh, and here I thought the pained looks on their faces was from the cold, not because they need a laxative. Government funded kind of course.
Something like that. I mean they are nearly brain dead to NOT consider 'colors' of clothing they wear will project. And to have both leaders in each body of Congress wearing as a symbol of power, exactly the same color of 'brown' surely could not have been ignored by somebody.
It is as if they deem to flaunt to taunt US.

The article said no Republicans (including RINOs) voted FOR the Bill.
But they were still against the DemospLabRat spending spree. Even us, we’re against excessive government spending, but they want to bankrupt the country dry.
They go behind closed doors, even changed locks to keep republicans out. The republicans still haven't even seen the health bill.
They should all get up, en masse, and walk out. The media will go wild - but the people will finally get a clue. EVERYTHING is being done by the demRATS. The only choice they have left the pubs is to vote yea or nay - and then blame everything on them,
There has been a COUP, and none dare name it so.
Walk out.
Quite frankly, I am glad that they are not passing even more crap with their huge majority. Although this is bad, it could be much worse. They pretty much could pass absolutely ANYTHING. We need to put in some rules that does not allow for super majorities....that is very dangerous. We are not a dictatorship. Yes I understand that they won and they allows for benefits, but having too many access votes is not a good idea.
They have totally shut the republicans out of every move.
I don’t want them to have a coup. We will have a majority again and I don’t want the Democrats to do that to us. We just have to wait 10 months and we will be back in power again. Hopefully they learned from their stupity the last time they were in power.
too late.
Besides the democrat controlled house and senate that refuses to let the republican even SEE the bills or be in the room on debates - even changing locks to keep them out...there's the shadow gov't of 'bama and his czars that operate outside of and over the legal branch, Congress.
So the Coup has already happened. Time to call it what it is. And the best way for the American people to wake up to it is for the republicans in both houses to stand up, en masse, and walk out.
If they are going to be treated like 'potted plants' and allowed NO input, NO participation, then it's time to say: "OK. As Obama told us - YOU WON. (Challenged by one Republican senator over the contents of the stimulus package, the new president, according to participants, replied: I won. End of discussion.)
You've totally usurped the process of a free gov't. You allow ONLY your input, your decisions, your behind closed doors meetings. You even had the locks changed to keep any republicans out.
"There's no need for us to take up space like so much window dressing. Let the American people see who is doing it all."
The rats heads - and their sycophant media - would explode. They have used the republicans solely as a whipping post to point blame at for holding everything up. The public largely swallow it. Time for them to wake up. ONLY the democrats are causing the mess we're in. Let 'em keep doing it out in the open.
