In the wake of the two-year budget deal the former House Speaker John Boehner negotiated with the Obama White House, Congress still needs to enact appropriations legislation to keep the government funded after the current continuing resolution expires on Dec. 11.

Maybe he fully expects to wear a purse?
I’m liking what I’m hearing ... No Amnesty Bill and now this ...
“We’re opening up the process,” Ryan said, with “lots of amendments considered by all members from both parties.”
Yeah, well consider those from dimoKKKRATS and then immediately put them in the circular file.
They just voted to give Obama a blank check for the rest of his term. Power of the purse my eye!
Talk, promises, talk, more talk. No action.
His lips were moving.
Yeah, being a rubber stamp for the executive is exercise of enumerated powers according to the RINO faction.
The eye has already left the barn.
We’ll see if his negotiation goes beyond,
“You can have anything you want, but that’s

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces guarding our country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense." |
He does not need a separate amnesty with TPP !
Ryan is beyond evil !

Mmmkay.
If they were going to with hold money, they would have done it by now.
But thanks for treating me like I’m stupid. :)
Ryan lied to us again and again
Ryan has his Amnesty in the TPP which was created up by Soros and his sock puppet ?
Ryan = Pure Evil

Obama borrows $339 Billion overnight ,good one
Fine, Paul. Now show us some objective evidence that you aren’t talking out of your nether regions.
