He said the plan would invest in the military and “the middle class” without Republican proposals to weaken new regulations on banks and emissions of carbon pollution.

First, because numerous most conservative Republicans would not support the spending bill under nearly any circumstances, Ryan had to depend on Democrats to reach the two hundred and eighteen votes necessary to pass the legislation. The tax elements were a major victory for corporate lobbyists and Republicans.

A yes vote was to send the bill to the Senate, which then cleared it for President Obama’s signature. Ryan’s predecessor, John Boehner, rarely got that kind of backing from Republicans on a spending bill when ran the House.

The House Speaker repeatedly stressed that he does not like rolling up all the spending bills and complicated policy provisions into one measure.

While Republicans voted almost in lockstep for the tax measure, it split Democrats, who opposed it by 106-77. He did, however, release a statement in opposition to the bill, calling it an example of a “broken Washington”. Only six Democrats along with Independent Bernie Sanders, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination, voted against the measure.

On Thursday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, said she would vote in favor of the bill, but said she wasn’t confident she could push it over the finish line with Democratic votes if it needed them.

The president made calls to all four congressional leaders to thank them for their efforts. “That’s because the hard-liners in the GOP will never get all they want in these bills with fewer than 60 votes in the Senate, period”.

It also allows for $1.3 billion more in spending for the Department of Homeland Security, as well as increases in the budgets of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Transportation Security Administration. It contains spending boosts for veterans and medical research.

The bill extends more than 50 expiring tax cuts, with more than 20 becoming permanent, including credits for companies’ expenditures for research and equipment purchases and reductions for lower-earning families and households with children and college students. The measure won support from Republicans by a 150-95 margin.

The two bills also include provisions trimming some of the taxes that helped financed the Affordable Care Act, including a 2-year suspension of a tax on medical devices.

The legislation includes an overhaul of the International Monetary Fund backed by Obama and a cybersecurity bill encouraging companies to share cyber threat information with the government.

A health and compensation fund for first responders on 9/11 was also funded and extended.
