Very sorry about this today. But still glad Trump won. A budget under Hilary would have been ten times as Bad and the Little Sisters if the Poor would be forced to abort kids in their sanctuary no doubt.
It’s ALWAYS the lesser of two evils in this world. Trumps pretty good and a huge positive over the alternative. But great strides could have been made here and they weren’t.
Trump didn’t win. He refused to fight.
You may be right or it would be possible that the GOP would actually fight much harder but with ultimately similar results. The GOP is bipolar.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today issued the following statement announcing his intention to vote against the omnibus spending bill:
“In 2016, the American people voted overwhelmingly for Republicans to change Washington. Now, Congress is poised to do the exact opposite: pass a massive $1.3 trillion spending bill — 2200 pages drafted by the Swamp in the dark of night — that will plunge our nation even deeper into debt.
“The disastrous elements of this bill are almost too numerous to list.
“It continues to fund Planned Parenthood, a corrupt organization whose horrifying abortion practices should preclude it from receiving taxpayer dollars.
“It continues to fund sanctuary cities, which are defying the law and making Americans less safe. Instead of rewarding sanctuary cities, we should be passing legislation like Kate’s Law, a bill I introduced that would put criminal illegal aliens in jail so they cannot prey on innocent Americans.
“It fails to provide sufficient funds to properly secure our border, let alone build the wall that is necessary.
“It tells federal agencies that they can spend taxpayer dollars to study the ‘causes’ of gun violence, a mandate that – make no mistake – will be abused by future liberal administrations to manufacture evidence to try to violate law-abiding citizens’ Second Amendment rights.
“It funds the Ex-Im Bank, a classic example of corporate welfare that has doled out over $100 billion in taxpayer-guaranteed loans, primarily to a handful of giant and well-connected corporations.
“It fails to reduce funding for the EPA, which under Obama administration zealots, killed thousands of jobs and dramatically strayed from its core mission of ensuring clean air and water.
“All of these measures amount to piling even greater debt onto the backs of our kids and grandkids, all because we are incapable of living within our means.
