The problem is the GOP has sold out on trade. As the dems are also sold out, but in a different way.

EVERYTHING is being made overseas now. Much of it in China, which buys NOTHING back from us, but some farm goods.

Both parties, are completely ok with China taking over the world.

All in the article is true.
And inevitable, given the size of the federal government.

Anyone who voted for this or signed it without reading the whole thing should be voted out of office. Yes, that includes the one who signed it.

This is a process created by Obama and the Reid/Pelosi Congress.

The first thing they did was pass the Stimulus(ie Massive Govt Spending) bill then they illegally refused to pass a budget.

This baked in the stimulus spending. One continuing resolution after another.

Even though the Republicans have been in charge, they continue the same. Welcome to the Uniparty.

Are we children? Did we expect Trump to be able to fix Washington in one year? Are we now going to pout and name-call?

Let's face it; the Republicans screwed Trump and on purpose to save their sinecures and avoid the Tar and Feathering they so richly deserve.

Yes, the DemonRatz are bad but they are the honest thieves in this fiasco.

Still.Backing.Trump!

Talk and more talk is very old and insulting. They rail against it, but nothing changes. Indeed, many are celebrating how well their perfected hypocritical spending formula is now working. They stuff the CR with thousands of pages of spending, hold it back until the eleventh hour, and then ram it though with the threat it has to be voted in or the government will shut down.

I cooled off somewhat after learning that the military captured $700 billion, over half, of the total $1.3 trillion.

I won’t give up on Trump yet despite what I have said previously.

And last time I looked, Congress was still using baseline budgeting. So is any increase on top of that??

For all we or the members of congress know, there could be reparations buried in the bill courtesy of Keith Ellison and Mad Max.

He’s right. The particulars of the bill are downstream of the fact that it’s bad process. We should be rejecting this “continuing resolution” business right off the bat. We control the House and Senate. Why are we still doing business this way?

The nation is going down anyway with the disaster those fake Republicans in DC will face in November. With the nation going down anyway, let the dems have it. We the people gave them total control of the gov, and they didn't even care enough about us to get rid of Obamacare! And now we have to worry about if our Pres is marching to the globalists' drums.

Please....Those pages have been out and have been discussed for months. All they had to read was the revisions.....unless they never picked it up over the last few months.

Don’t paint the whole Republican Party with a broad brush. The failure to get rid of Obamacare was the fault of McCain, Murkowski and Collins.
