More than a trillion taxpayer dollars are on the table as House Speaker Paul Ryan and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi negotiate a massive spending deal.

But while those talks drag on between Pelosi, D-Calif., and Ryan, R-Wis., many House Republicans say they’re growing frustrated by the secrecy surrounding the process and the lack of details about the package.

As the days tick down toward a looming budget deadline, the chairman of the Republican Study Committee—the largest conservative caucus in Congress—said in an interview with The Daily Signal that he still doesn’t know what’s exactly on the negotiating table or what could end up in the spending bill.

“My biggest frustration is that [the negotiating process] is too opaque,” Rep. Bill Flores, R-Texas, said. “We don’t have any transparency into anything that’s happening.”

I pointed out before he was coronated as Speaker to replace the crying cheeto, that Ryan was not our friend and would be little better than Boner. Why the conservatives could not coalesce around one person as Speaker I will never understand

Ryan is an effing traitor. There’s a reason why he never fought back against that boorish Biden during his debate with him. Quisling RINO traitor.

House conservatives have no right to complain about MiniBoehner.

The new boss is exactly the same as the old boss.

Not to worry, Obama will get every thing he wants.

GOP is not willing to do a government shutdown in an election year.

Nothing to worry about. The conclusion is foregone. Ryan works for Pelosi just as Boehner did. The Democrats will get the best deal he can negotiate.

The Tea Party in Congress got exactly what they wanted in Ryan. The Tea Party is just as much of a fraud once it is in office as the Republicans were before they quit pretending.

It’s becoming clearer and clearer that Ryan is a younger version of John McCain, weasel and traitor through and through. And the Conservatives were duped once again into electing him as Speaker.

As Trump said about Ryan to Wallace: "He's a nice guy. But we need stronger thinking."

House Republicans say they're growing frustrated by the secrecy surrounding the process and the lack of details about the package.

What do they care ,it is not like they read any of this bills that they pass.

Raise your hand if you thought Paul Ryan was a conservative.

Because the only fair election was cancelled.
