Yeah, you should hear how popular that is down here in Miami. The Cuban community is beyone furious.

And all nicely tucked away in this bill: The Cuban measures were part of an $89.3 billion bill to fund the Transportation and Treasury departments in the budget year starting Oct. 1. The bill, passed 381-39, includes $33.8 billion for highway spending and meets the president's request of $900 million for Amtrak. It also includes a 4.1 percent cost-of-living raise for civilian and military federal employees, an action that in effect also guarantees that members of Congress will receive a 2.2 percent raise to more than $158,000 a year.

I can hear the Dems beating the "Bush vetos spending for military families" drum right now.
