The Senate increased its total salaries of officers and employees by $12.6 million in the 2,232-page bill that lawmakers had fewer than 48 hours to read and vote on.
Aside from giving their own institutions a bonus, the omnibus also gives away millions to prevent "Elderly falls," promote breastfeeding, and fight "Excessive alcohol use."
The legislation increases the Senate budget to $919.9 million, up $48.8 million from fiscal year 2017, according to the congressional summary.
Division I of the legislation breaks down the total salaries of officers and employees, which are being raised from $182 million in 2017 to $194.8 million in the final bill, an increase of $12.58 million.
The House kept its budget for salaries the same at $22.3 million and lowered expenses by $4.4 million.
Committee offices got an increase of $22.9 million in salaries, from $181.5 million in 2017 to $204.4 million in the final bill.
Another $15 million goes to study "High obesity counties" and an increase of $5 million for the CDC program that seeks to "Address obesity in counties" by leveraging "The community extension services provided by land grant universities who are mandated to translate science into practical action and promote healthy lifestyles."
