I know there’s a lot going on in the world today, but can we just take a moment to reflect on how crazy it is that the United States House of Representatives just passed a $1.5 TRILLION spending bill that no one has read?
The House passed an expansive $1.5 trillion spending bill on Wednesday night that includes funding for the government through the end of the fiscal year…
So that piddling, measly $1.5 trillion isn’t the full budget, it’s just through the end of the fiscal year, which is to say September 30. That’s more than Ronald Reagan’s first two budgets for their entire fiscal years combined.
…emergency aid for Ukraine’s war effort, but also a number of ambiguous programs abroad…
Really, who doesn’t like paying for “ambiguous programs abroad”?
...with pandemic relief funding being thrown out at the last minute.
The omnibus package was bifurcated into two votes, both of which received bipartisan support: one for defense spending and one for domestic social spending. For the former, which included funding for the Pentagon, Department of Homeland Security, and national security, the House voted 361-69. For the latter, the vote was 260-171. The renewal of funding for the government came before a federal funding was set to expire Friday.
Over 2,700 pages in length…
And here’s how you know that no single human being read all 2,700 pages, because it was unveiled yesterday. Of course, that’s the entire point, so no one can point out the graft and payouts earmarked for political cronies.

What do you mean nobody has read?
All the clients of the cheap whores (aka congressmen) who wrote their portions of this atrocity surely have read it.
Like Columbia, the name Jonah means "dove".
The book of Jonah contains 2700 letters.
It's as if these people are building their own gallows.
I would like to know why the bastards on the Hill passed a bill to give the Ukrainians $13.6B taxpayer dollars when all we are hearing in “da news” is how every American, both past, present and future are chomping at the bit to provide their wealth and their lives to save the Ukraine from Vlad the Turrble. Why didn’t those maggots on the Hill just start a GoFundMe page for the Ukraine? I’m pretty sure, if the “media” is correct, Americans would have provided a lot more than $13.6B in no time and saved those who pay taxes a lot of money.
Nobody who voted on it will be affected in the least. This is a war between the elites and their serfs.
Just keep voting for the R
No matter how bad they are
Rah Rah Romney
Hail Hail Haley
The Republicans assisted passing it, they are not going to do that.
Let’s recall this when Freepers shout that we live in a representative republic.
Just keep voting. As if it matters.
Before political parties corrupted the system, Presidential electors were supposed to use THEIR judgement in who to vote for President.
Hey, it’s Congre$$es job to spend all of ours, not theirs, money. i wonder how long it will be before there’s a tax payer revolt? Also, how long before a COS will amend the Constitution to include term limits?
