By the way... 6 years running and the federal building in Honolulu is still not done.
Yep. All those “shovel ready” jobs. Where did it go? It was all a ruse by the democrats so that they could have themselves a giant slush fund. A trillion in spending, down the toilet.
Kudos to you. You are the only other poster I’ve seen articulate the truth about Obama’s slush fund. The 38% increase in the baseline budget baked in the first few months of his administration and enabled by continuing resolutions.
When other members suggest we cut off funds for this or that I groan to myself. Unallocated funds can’t be cut off after budgets are reconciled because bills to do so will be vetoed. The only time to change the profligate spending is during the budget reconciliation process and that leads to a possible shutdown that leadership will not consider.
Clawing back this slush fund is about as likely to happen as me bedding Catherine Zeta-jones. They all know and they’re all complicit and worst of all there is no outrage, even here.
