The bill is now headed to the president for signing after passing in the House Tuesday by a 326-90 vote. The December budget deal called for a reduction in cost-of-living adjustments for servicemembers. The bill passed today will undo the COLA reduction for current servicemembers and veterans"

So....they put up a fake cost cutting bill to push the omnibus, then reverse the cost cutting bill so they get the omnibus + none of the cost cutting.
Anytime Barbara Boxer, Barbara Mikulski, Dick Durbin, and Harry Reid are in bed with John McCain and Orrin Hatch - watch your wallets.
