Democrats unveiled the draft of their 2022 omnibus spending bill early Wednesday morning. The package, which carries a top-line price tag of $1.5 trillion, includes $730 billion in non-defense funding, the largest increase in non-defense funding in four years.
The bill, which maintains a roughly one-to-one parity between defense and non-defense spending—as has been demanded by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his allies—would avert a government shutdown set to begin late evening on Friday.
