You almost got a 1547 page present from the Grinches who were going to Steal Christmas by continuing the terrible garbage that DC has been spewing out for years. Johnson never should have ever allowed this Bill to get this far. He should NOT be afraid of Shutdowns. He should be VERY afraid to let Pork and Poison happen.
Without further comment - please download your own copy of this 1547 page document that ought to be the death sentence to Mike Johnson's career if he hasn't made a huge 180 degree turn today in getting his priorities straight. I hope I won't be coming here tomorrow or anytime before January 20th with any more long documents like this.

I don’t use AI, but if the bill is downloadable, you could probably cut and paste a few pages at a time.
once we’ve paid down this gargantuan debt.

Alcatraz island where that other gangster,.. al Capone,,. was memorialized.
The worst part of it is that buried in there is an approximate 50% raise for House members. And an exemption from Obamacare.
I don’t know, but you might email a site called “New Hampshire Grok”.
“And an exemption from Obamacare”
Didn’t these thieves put this in at the time? Perhaps it’s just redundancy to protect themselves from government programs that are subject to us little people.
You are$ joking, right? 900+ million a year???
AI will actually be useful to find the garbage in this bill
Prove it. I just went to page 980 and saw no such thing
Sarcasm.... Congress deserves a raise after causing the massive inflation and price increases. They want to give themselves a $70,000 raise - https://x.com/catturd2/status/1869543483687719143
Plus $3 billion for a new NFL stadium in Washington, D.C. for the Washington Commanders, formerly known as the Washington Redskins, were valued at $6.05 billion when they were sold to Josh Harris in 2023.
Congress: don’t forget the free tickets in box seats for us.

Over 4.3 trillion US dollars of the National Debt is owned by the Federal Reserve.

Yup. Shut it down.

I didn't include the "joke" or "sarcasm" tags because I didn't think they were necessary.
There seems to be something more going on with Speaker Johnson.

Clearly alphabet agency people have him on speed dial.
For these assholes? Totally believable.
Most of these are multi-million-dollar funds "to remain available until expended". That is a lot of slush funding.
Nowhere in this document is any total provided of the proposed expenditures or any comparison with available revenue to meet them.
Some questionable items:
Department of Agriculture
Northwestern New Mexico Rural Water Projects Act ($1,640,000,000)
Office of Secretary funds for expenses related to farm losses ($30,780,000,000)
Block Grants to "eligible" States (which ones?) for expenses related to farm losses ($220,000,000)
Emergency Watershed Protection Program, ($920,000,000)
Department of Commerce
Economic Development Assistance Programs ($1,510,000,000)
NOAA Operations Research and Facilities ($244,000,000)
"Fisheries Disaster Assistance" ($300,000,000)
Bureau of Indian Affairs
State and Tribal Assistance Grants ($3,000,000,000)
General Slush Funding
There appears to be several dozen projects scattered throughout all of the Department totaling well over $100 billion to "remain available until expended, for necessary expenses related to damages caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton". Everybody wants a piece of this.
Review Committees and required Reporting
There are over a dozen requirements for various Departments to establish new committees to generate reports to Congress. Some of these requirements are for up to ten years. All of them appear to be useless.
Medicaid Eligibility Expansion
This one can collapse the entire American Healthcare system all by itself. There is absolutely no funding available to cover the mandated expansion of eligibility. Unchecked medical expenses can crash the government, within two or three years at present exponential rates of increase.
A bunch of worthless pukes.
Just turn the Mars exploration over to Elon. But he has to take along some NASA scientists. :-)
