[Siegfried X]

The Republican Party is a vehicle which is usually controlled by rebel Democrats who disagree with that party on one or two issues (like war or business taxes).

But from time to time conservatives take control of the Republican Party and drive it for awhile. In my lifetime that has happened 3 times:

1 - Reagan Presidency
2 - Gingrich speakership
3 - Tea Party

And as predicted the republicans, wait even the tea party people caved. Once again nothing was accomplished. Spending still goes up each and every year. America goes bankrupt very shortly.

I was looking at the actual bill and found the following increases enumerated in it. I also found the debt increase for this year, alone, can be $1.8 trillion. The following table shows the ADDITIONAL spending authorized in the bill for each year.
