House Voting Today on 5,600 Page Pork-Filled COVID Package No-One Has Read, McConnell Wants Unanimous Consent…
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 21 Dec 2020 | Sundance

Posted on 12/22/2020 5:06:05 AM PST by Rummyfan

Good grief the UniParty is in full swing and they don’t even care what our opinion is about this massive $2.5 TRILLION (approximated because it hasn’t been scored) COVID/Omnibus spending bill that totals over 5,600 pages.

The actual 5,600 page bill wasn’t populated for public review until shortly after noon this afternoon and staff had an issue putting it on-line. Incredibly, and in keeping with the previous approach preferred by congress, the House plans on voting on this bill today; and Mitch McConnell wants the Senate to pass it by unanimous consent (no recorded votes).

My rough review shows an approximately 70/30 split on the $900+ billion COVID package. Approximately 30 percent +/- of the bill will actually help working class families and businesses on Main Street. Approximately 70 percent of the bill will go to political donors, special interests, environmental lobbyists, K-Street groups who wrote the bill, foreign interests, Wall Street and corporate beneficiaries.

The ugly precedent is set. Trillion dollar stimulus for every crisis.

I sure hope Rand Paul throws some sand in the gears just to force a debaste and a delay. Our government is not worth a plug nickel which is rapidly not going to have any value at all.

Sounds like another f...ed up Obamacare bill. WTF isn’t Senator McConnell shredding it?! Giving away money for nothing ? Giving three times as much money up illegal aliens — who should have been deported already!!- as to American citizens? (We hear it would even start giving more money up the fakestinian terrotist murder gangsters in Ramallah?! This is criminal as well as morally disgusting! ) WTH is the good senator doing anyway?! The death knell of the R party

If I got one constitutional amendment wish, it would be that every line item in a funding bill has to have the name of the people who wrote and inserted that line item, and to win passage, each congressman and senator has to physically apply their signature at the bottom of every page like you do for a mortgage. It may not change anything, but it would slow things down to the point that fewer of these monstrosities would make it through just out of physical inertia.

I saw it last night, stacked on a table.

The image was astounding to say the least.

For the Americans screaming for relief...$600.

We should be storming the castle.

No! Roll call vote. Let’s see these people stand up and explain their vote.

Make them vote. No unanimous consent, make them put their names on it.

This is the true McConnell—owned by the lobbyists.

He has never been for limited government. He has never been a conservative. He represents the moneyed special interests.
