Sweeping budget deal would add more than $500 billion in federal spending end months of partisan wrangling
The accord would deliver the defense funding boost wanted by President Trump and Republican lawmakers alongside an increase in domestic programs sought by Democrats  as well as tens of billions of dollars for disaster victims.
 Trump  backed the deal Wednesday  saying in a tweet that  it  would give Defense Secretary Jim Mattis âwhat he needs to keep America Greatâ and calling on lawmakers of both parties to âsupport our troops and support this Bill!â
Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) noted the deal would deliver more military funding than Trump requested in his 2018 budget proposal. âIâm all for supporting our military  and I want to make sure theyâre funded properly â he said. âItâs very difficult to have that big of an increase in one year and then be able to use it wisely.â
âI hope we can build on this bipartisan momentum and make 2018 a year of significant achievement for Congress  for our constituents and for the country we all love â Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said  while Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) called it âthe first real sprout of bipartisanshipâ in the  Trump  era.
Such amity was not on display in the House. Democrats remained disgruntled that the agreement did not include protections for young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children and are now at risk for deportation after  Trump  moved to cancel the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
