Sounds like you’re tired of winning.

We've got LOTS of people here of that ilk.

"It goes to the Senate...."

Where anything that's even perceived to be good dies a quick death.

15 out of 300 billion isn’t impressive, and The Turtle seems lukewarm about it.”””

Turtle is lukewarm about everything that Trump does.

Payback will get Turtle.

Yes, some are whining as bad as the snowflakes....and usually they’re the ‘drive by posters’ who never read past the headlines.

Lawmakers approved the bill in a narrow 210-206 vote, which was close because 17 Republicans voted against it... The bill will now move over to the Senate. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., says he is open to considering the bill

Thanks caww.

5%.

Wow you can do math. 5% is a big so what

[17th Miss Regt]

SO.... in previous ‘administrations’ , what used to happen to this UNSPENT MONEY ?

It went to Hillary's election fund or the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Why do you ask?

[Eleutheria5]

It is what it is. I’m sure you’d be upset if it was a 5% increase. Instead it’s a reduction, which is better than stay-the-same or increase. So don’t knock it.

[Eleutheria5]

Paying spies of opposition campaigns, and handing off in pallets to Iran.

in previous ‘administrations’ , what used to happen to this UNSPENT MONEY ?

VJ and homo packed it onto pallets and flew it to Iran.

[from occupied ga]

So don’t knock it.

So we're supposed to be grateful that there is a small reduction in a wildly profligate spending squandering bill? Kind of like a store charging twice the going rate for something and then knocking off 5% in a sale. Sorry good buddy I'm not buying.

[Eleutheria5]

You don’t know much about compounded interest, then. This is a long-term reduction in this budget and future budgets. It adds up.

[from occupied ga]

...nonsequitor...

You seem to be deliberately missing my point which is the "budget" was much too high to start with, but since you're apparently one of those people who tray to argue against what I didn't say rather than what I said you can go have a great day. I'm tired of wasting time on you.

[Eleutheria5]

OK. The budget’s way out of control. Therefore, anything that isn’t a reduction of 50% or more is a dead loss. Accentuate the negative. Please don’t waste any more time on me. You’ll tire yourself.

[katiedidit1]

It is a drop in the bucket considering 300 billion. The omnibus never should have passed and no true conservative would have ever voted for it or signed it

[bert]

A memo came around asking for suggestions about what you need and then the money was spent before the end of the fiscal year.

The management goal is to have no unspent appropriated funds
