There's also $7 billion in new loan guarantees to help utilities construct new nuclear power plants. (Where's YUCCA mountain in the appropriation. You can't build new plants without a nuclear waste repository).

The House on Wednesday approved a $1.1 trillion continuing resolution (CR) funding the government through Sept. 30, 2011.
With this increase, the act includes $513 billion overall for the Department of Defense. It has $501.4 billion for all other appropriations.
Foreign aid programs, however, would receive a $2.2 billion.
The measure passed over Republican protests that it still spends too much money and caps an unprecedented collapse of the federal budget process in which not a single one of the 12 annual spending bills has yet passed Congress. Ten of 12 House bills haven't even been made public.

A Republican senator on Thursday denounced the $18 billion in provisions added to a catchall spending bill to keep the government running through next year, saying they're a "Trojan horse to fund the new federal health care law."
