The Democratic-controlled Senate has passed a budget drafted to President Obama's specifications, voting a few hours after the House approved a similar plan.
The plan calls for spending of $3.5 trillion for the budget year beginning Oct. 1 and has a deficit projected at $1.2 trillion.
The Senate vote Thursday was 55-43, along party lines.
It provides for higher spending on domestic programs and clears the way for action later in the year on Obama's call for an overhaul of health care, a new energy policy and changes in federal support for education.
