Here’s a decent summary of what’s in the bill... for those of you who want to continue fighting this in the Senate... or want to know more than just the sound bites of the talking heads.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2014/12/09/whats-in-the-spending-bill-we-skim-it-so-you-dont-have-to/

There’s some decent stuff, but also some stuff that will make freepers hair stand on end.

Check out the sections on:

- Dodd-Frank (which a lot of democrats are fuming over and I agree with them)

- Immigration - Not only are we paying to take care of the kids that came over, but we’re giving $260 Mils to the governments that sent them over.

- Obamacare (ACA) - I’m not sure of the impact of what’s there, if any.

- Federal workers - get to continue partying

- Marijuana - blocks the legalization in DC, but also blocks the Justice dept from interfering with states that passed medical pot laws and industrial production. A bit schizoid if you ask me.

- Campaign Finance - Vastly increases allowable donations - Can’t say I favor giving the ultra wealthy even more political clout.

WE THE TAXPAYING AMERICANS HAVE BUT 1 REAL OPTION - IF OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS CANNOT AND WILL NOT CUT SPENDING FOR ILLEGAL ACTIONS BY THIS COMMUNIST PRESIDENT, THEN WE CAN STOP SENDING THE TAX MONEY THEY ARE USING TO DO THESE ILLEGAL ACTS.

GET OUT YOUR W-2 FORMS and UP YOUR DEDUCTIONS TO THE POINT WHERE NO MONEY IS TAKEN FROM YOUR PAYCHECK!!!
