House lawmakers in both parties joined forces Wednesday to pass a sweeping budget deal that marks both a parting victory for outgoing Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and a valedictory gift for his likely replacement, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).

The final vote was 266 to 167, with 79 Republicans joining every Democrat in sealing passage. Ryan was among the supporters.

I called mine and could tell from the gal’s tone of voice that my opinion is not in the majority.

I would go beyond that statement.

The country is gone...done for when almost every government official looks you straight in the eye and lies.

Every thing that the government has accomplished for the last 7 years has been exactly what those running in the last election promised they would prevent from happening, or at least try hard to prevent.

Lies, lies, lies.

Just send more money.

Nope.

Made my decision today and saying it three times is a charm ... never, ever voting again. Let ‘em get some other suckers but this old man is done.

Funds amnesty, Planned parenthood, EPA, Iran deal, etc. for the rest of Obama’s term.

$80 billion in new discretionary spending each of two years

And that’s for starters.

They are irrelevant.

Too bad the majority of Americans have a fatal case of Normalcy is and refuse to see it. They are still hanging their hopes on a political savior like Trump or Carson or Cruz to save us.

The Republic is GONE.

This deal is just one more in an AVALANCHE OF EVIDENCE that we no longer live in a Republic.

We live in a Fascist dictatorship run by a complicit Oligarchy.

Elections are there to placate the masses into thinking we choose our overlords.

So much for consideration of the taxpayers who fund this goat rodeo.

These people are despicable.

Just do your own research and don’t listen to the garbage here that tells you to elect lesser evil no matter what.
