Ron Paul is delusional. The Republican “opposition” to this foreign/corporate welfare was nothing more than political grandstanding.

In 2004, this exact same bill would have been passed in the GOP-controlled Congress and signed into law by GWB without even making headlines. And the only opposition would have come from a fringe group of DEMOCRATS who opposed welfare for white people on principle.

The Bush/Cheney era is long over.

This is the Trump era — for Republicans anyway.

I stand by my comment.

And I’ve posted on this board numerous times concerning the perfidy of the Repugnants when they have the presidency, the senate, and the House. Rather than making fundamental changes in fedzilla, they push down the accelerator on big government.

The few times when the Repugnants have been semi-effective is when they are in a position to block (not having the presidency AND the congress). They can’t even seem to do that effectively now.
