“Congress doesn’t pass appropriations bills anymore. Instead, lawmakers pile all 12 bills into one catchall omnibus bill for a continuing resolution — or, as this one came to be known, a CRomnibus”
How utterly disgusting and pathetic. God forbid they should have to actually take the time to work at being among the royals. That’s too hard! Instead, just scribble up spending as fast as you can, add it to the behemoth unread and impossible to actually absorb and challenge “budget” leviathan, and call it good. Then go on vacation, ride your limos and private jets and hit the golf course or the ski slope. Life is good.
I’m thoroughly disgusted and disillusioned. Again. Nothing new but it sticks in my craw every time.
The guest was a rat senator, and I wanted to ask, “Do you think it reasonable for your constituents to expect you to read and understand bills before you vote for them?”
Just before I was due up, the line went dead.
Though shalt not embarrass the ruling class.
