Fuller coverage here, from Herman Cain:

Yesterday morning, I discussed the atrocious spending bill that’s currently wriggling its way through Congress like a heartworm through a mangy dog. It appears that the GOP has, once again, caved to every imaginable Democrat demand because they’re simply too cowardly to fight for their alleged agenda. After winning the House, Senate, and Presidency, they put forth a plan that gives their opponents everything they wanted - and today, the Democrats are taking a victory tour of the news channels where they grin like Cheshire cats.

Chuck Schumer loves the plan, and that’s all you really need to know.

I’ve told you before about discussions that go on behind the scenes here at Cain HQ. One of the big ones centers around my ongoing belief that the GOP doesn’t really want the limited government they pretend to desire - at least, not enough of them do. They talk a good game, but I’d say about 1 in 20 congressional Republicans truly believe the rhetoric they spout. The rest quietly work to expand the federal beast, maintain or grow government power, and perpetually enrich their cushy, taxpayer-funded, lives.

We vote for them because they’re “not quite as bad” as the socialists and communists who run the Democrat party, and we’re sick to death of it.

So, the question is: what are they really offering? Why continue to put them in office if we’re just going to be trapped in a disappointing political “Groundhog Day?”

I’m not the only one asking. Yesterday afternoon, Rush Limbaugh wondered the same thing. He mostly gives President Trump a pass, instead focusing his anger on Congress. I’m not going to be so forgiving. Take a look at a few of his comments, and we’ll discuss:

This Spending Bill should have been passed and a fait accompli last fall. Trump never should have been able to get anything out of this year's Budget.

Anything he does get is a net gain, win Trump.

$15 Billion for increased military spending, $1.5 Billion for increased border security, etc. Trump did well here, and will blow your socks off with the 2018 Spending Bill in September.

Someone should tell Rush that we know that he knows this. Stop the 'controversial' posturing for ratings, it's hurting your credibility.

I agree with Cain. There is congressional republican blame. But the buck stops with Trump. Or should.
