I read through the entire thing. Typical republican backstabbing.

This part at the end was also important.

And on Fox News on Sunday, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL)—the incoming chairman of the Budget Committee—said that “there is no way” any members of the House or Senate will be able to actually read “this huge bill” when leadership introduces it. Leadership has been keeping the omnibus secret until now and, still as of Sunday evening, hasn’t introduced it. “There’s going to be thousands of pages passed maybe Monday night in the House,” Sessions said.

It they do a last minute submittal of the omnibus bill, all it takes is ONE SINGLE REPRESENTATIVE to force them to read it on the floor. (twice I believe).

The congresscritters can't claim ignorance on it, because they all have that power. It only takes one single objection to the request for uninimous consent to dispense with the reading of it. If they do not object, then they are lying to you when they claim it was beyond their power to do anything at all about it. Absolute lies.

We need to stop allowing these low life to lie to us.

And Wall Street wants its piece of the pie in the omnibus bill. Huffpo title (below) is more appropriate though.
