Trump’s effort to 'rescind' spending in COVID/government funding bill faces hurdles
Fox News ^ | 12/28/2020 | Chad Pergram

Posted on 12/28/2020 3:46:41 AM PST by Onthebrink

In the President’s signing statement, accompanying his signature of the COVID aid/government funding plan, he points out he wants "far less wasteful spending and more money going to the American people in the form of $2,000 checks per adult and $600 per child."

Under the Budget Act of 1974, the President is required to submit a "budget request" to Congress in the winter. Many of the spending requests flagged by the President were consistent with his own budget request to Capitol Hill earlier this year.

That mess should have been vetoed. My guess is that DJT was duped by Meadows, among other treasonous Rs.

That mess should have been vetoed. Period. Any promise of it being improved by congress is delusional. If anything they will add pork and claim it’s actually a savings. Please, for the love of god, never, ever trust these people.

He did in essence veto it. Did you read his statement.

Be prepared as I think trump has other tricks up his sleeve.

A massive turn out on Jan 6 could turn this around quickly

Trump has faced hurdles, hoaxes, backstabbers and a Deep State from
the moment he rode down the escalator in 2015. Things will never be the
same for the GOP if Trump is cheated out of a 2nd term.
The GOP will go the way of the Whigs.

Maybe you can tell me the last time a bill was signed by a president then sent back to congress for cost saving revisions *and* a restructuring of the spending.

give me a break, all the times gope stabbed trump in the back, and this one time it will be different? that gope will take trump’s suggestion and remove the pork? it is already law.

the best case scenario now is to hope that dems does not add more pork to the check extension bill monday(today).

the raping of american people will continue.

Yeah, hurdles like the Republicans in Congress couldn't care less what Trump wants or doesn't want.

Complete nonsense. Congress will just run out the clock and the spending will start in 45 days.

John Preston (Also known as “Concern Troll):
How about you tell us what his invoking the Act and the impoundment actually means...

Hint:
Impoundment
Impoundment is the refusal by the president to spend funds that have been appropriated by Congress.

I think Trump is so much smarter than these people that he’s not going to let them win.

Trump is a deal maker. Accepting Barr AG was a deal he made to end the muller witch hunt. My guess is signing this thing is a deal to help stop prosecution by the lying deep state after he leaves office....

Trump is certainly smarter than our resident concern trolls.
Here’s hoping the day brings good news.

If trump had not signed it.... they would do it after Biden gets in. They will have both houses of congress and the presidency. We normal people have to plan accordingly for this outcome. We can see it coming with all of the continued fraud in Georgia and we have to be ready in all ways. Physically, emotionally, and financially.
