Its Pork Barrell Chuck Schumer and Gaslight Joe Biden! Always ready to lie (gaslight) and spend trillions that we don’t have.
A new $1.2 trillion government spending package Congress is trying to ram through faces significant headwinds in the House, where members are expected to vote on it later this morning.
The 1,012-page bill was introduced at around 3am Thursday morning – just 48 hours before a midnight Friday funding deadline. It must pass both the House and the Senate, after which President Biden will sign it (with crayons at the ready, we’re sure).
The package accounts for approximately 70% of discretionary government spending – and consists of six out of twelve total bills that Congress must pass each fiscal year to fund the government. The six others, around $460 billion in spending, were passed earlier this month.
According to Fox News, multiple GOP sources, two GOP lawmakers and one senior GOP aide think the package will pass, but by a tight margin.
On Thursday afternoon, however, the bipartisan deal hit turbulence – with one GOP lawmaker citing absurd pork contained within – including funding for LGBTQ centers and facilities that provide late-term abortions.
Pork City
As usual, Democrats slipped in as much pork as possible, including:– $850k for a gay senior home- $15 million to pay for Egyptian’s college tuitions- $400k for a gay activist group to teach elementary kids about being trans- $500k for a DEI zoo- $400k for a group to gives clothes to teens to help them hide their gender
$60,000,000,000 for Ukraine (of course). NOTHING for US border.
$1,140,000,000,0000 for pork barrelling
1.2 trillion in inflation, an increase of the money supply by 2% in a single spending bill.
The US Dollar’s purchasing power is down -16% under Gaslight Joe.

“$850k for a gay senior home”
You can’t make this stuff up.
Nothing for border control?
Nothing?
Yes, our severe Christian Mike Johnson sold us out for this crap. I wonder what his payoff will be? Kind of like the one Mike Pence got.
Why is the GOP so hesitant to shut down the government, or so called non essential government?
16% ?
Has the author been to the grocery store?
Car shopping?
Try doubling that 16%.
What a break! Only $60M for ukraine. Had thought it would be 1000X that! Whew!
Its Biden’s policy - the more come in the better for redistricting, for additional House seats, and of course, more ballots to be counted.
How the open border policy has anything to do with the Russian invasion of UKR makes no sense. Which is why the GOP cannot govern.
The US Dollar’s purchasing power is down -16% under Gaslight Joe.***
Between 1880 and 1960 the cost of everything doubled in 80 years. 100% inflation.
The total inflation rate from 1960 (Average) to Feb. 2024 is 948.40%. In 64 years!
What cost $1 in 2020 now costs $1.20 Housing prices are even higher!
