A massive $1.1 trillion spending bill for 2014 is finally on its way to the White House for President Barack Obama's signature after passing the Senate on Thursday.

The measure, which averts the threat of another government shutdown this year, was contained in a 1,582-page document that will cover government costs through Sept. 30.

What follows is a breakdown of the major points of the spending bill compiled from the Associated Press and reports from The Washington Post, CBS News, and other media outlets. The bill, which the AP reports will cost taxpayers about $3 million per word or nearly $700 million per page, also contains some examples of what the new budget specifically denies.
