The Omnibus spending bill is NOT a budget, but the thing that obumer had all the 8 years…AND it has NO spending audits on it. He can spend it where he wants. He can spend it HOW he wants!
hahaha…it is a disaster for the dems as they have just funded his wall!!! He can use the money how and where he desires. He can s-l-o-w down payments to those he does not want to get tax payer’s money…like the abortionists, planned P and others not on the nice list.
Do you understand that is how obumer funneled away 8 trillion dollars over 8 years??? He NEVER had a budget, just these weird omnibus things, quasi budgets, but not a real budget with accountabilities, that’s why no one knew where the missing trillions went. Congress needs to be kicked out…period!
The bill has no orders attached to it. He can spend it where and how he wants and it won’t be spent anywhere he does not approve…

I spent hours yesterday researching the laws, the 1974 law and statutes and providing links. Do you know why the Omnibus is not going to get any notice? Here it is… It’s not an official ‘Federal Budget’. It’s an Omnibus bill…not a Budget…He(Trump) outsmarted them again…Congress basically screwed themselves by not passing a Budget…
Per the Constitution…the President must adhere to a Budget set forth by Congress and direct the expenditures as provided therein.
This is another one of those big Porkulus Bills, like they gave Obama for 8 years. This is not a Budget! An Omnibus Spending Bill may have some ‘instructions’ as to how the money will be spent…but Obama ignored them. He spent the money, or didn’t spend it, however he wanted to. And Congress didn’t do a thing about it! Because they couldn’t.
I think our President observed how this happened, year after year. He is bound to realize that those ‘appropriations’ for different things in these Omnibus bills…are merely ‘suggestions’.
So like Obama, brilliant President Trump can spend this money on whatever he wants to. Or…not spend it. Planned Parenthood? What if our President decided to tell the Treasury Dept to ‘slow-walk’ that money to Planned Parenthood…until the Senate gets off their ass and confirms his appointees?
Sanctuary Cities? What if our President decided to ‘slow-walk’ that money too…until those Sanctuary Cities assist ICE in rounding up criminal illegal aliens?
Splodey heads? From the Dems/GOP to the Enemedia? Why yes, there would be a colorful display of splodey heads. But what could they do about it? …Hah. Our brilliant President could just say…’Wait! Congress should’ve passed a Budget.’
Done finished…research was done…and it is so very humorous actually. Our VSG just said: Just give me money for the Military and the Wall…put anything else you want in it…and those goofballs did…lol
In this case, as per above, he doesn’t have to spend a dime….because it is not a ‘budget’. And even if it was…researched….he could still spend as he pleased… Congress appropriates, but it’s up to the President to spend it…or not….as he pleases. Oh, I did see $30 million for Military Tribunals and the Holamn Rule…
Again, that is why Obama never had a Budget in his Presidency…Congress did continual Omibus’s and he just took the money.
