The constitution states that spending bills must originate in the House. The theory was that the House, reelected every two years and closest to the will of the people, has prime responsibility of how the people’s money is spent. Just don’t understand why the Republican majority does not defund offending agencies and programs.

The communist doesn’t care about the details or the truth or the facts - and it shows when he opens his mouth - like what I saw on TV this a.m. - all he cares about is getting more money to redistribute. And the Kardashian POTUS has enough people who agree with him.

This situation could not be more dire.

The constitution states that spending bills must originate in the House.

Actually it says:

All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.

The fiscal cliff bill just passed, which raised revenues, or at least tax rates, was an amendment to the one the House passed in August, which had no such tax increase. But Boehner and the House RINOS caved and voted for those amendments, rather than holding fast against tax increases as they were elected to do.
