The Conference Committee met this week to decide on the Budget Conference Agreement, which is basically a compromise between both chambers’ budget resolutions. The House just voted on the agreement and passed it 233-193. The agreement preserves Obama’s call for investment in health care reform, clean energy and affordable education. The budget agreement also includes reconciliation instructions for health care reform and education, to protect the future bills from being blocked by a minority of Senators.

The Senate is expected to vote on the budget agreement later today. Check out this article from the NY Times for more.
