House Passes Three Week Spending Bill

The Senate just approved the tax deal by an 81 to 19 margin, and now the bill will move to the House of Representatives, where it will have to overcome opposition within the Democratic caucus.
I don't have the official final roll call yet, but among those voting no were generally a coalition of conservatives and liberals: Jeff Bingaman, Tom Coburn, Jim Demint, John Ensign, Russ Feingold, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kay Hagan, Tom Harkin, Jeff Merkley, Bernie Sanders, Jeff Sessions, George Voinovich, Mark Udall and Tom Udall.

Does anyone know if all the pork in this "deal" like ethanol and solar/wind subsidies were part of the original deal?
Or, were they added after it was announced?
And, how is a "revenue raising" bill originating in the Senate. That is blatantly un-Constitutional!
Any answers are greatly appreciated!

Apparently the stock market doesn't like the spending attached to the bill, Dow just went from positive to negative within the last hour.
