So how long do I have to wait until this goes to the House? And why will it fail when it gets there, or be stuck in committee forever before reaching the floor

So how long do I have to wait until this goes to the House? And why will it fail when it gets there, or be stuck in committee forever before reaching the floor, or have some nonsensical pork attached to it? I have no faith in my government to do something as nice as give me a little sunshine in the evening...
