When they are fighting over the 10%-15% of the budget called discretionary spending, I have a hard time not barfing.

When they start with a Zero dollar budget and fund only what the people can afford, there will be some sense of responsibility.

Unfortunately, PDJT will sign it. He needs enough GOP/RINOs on his side for now, to reject the phony impeachment.

Relax—they borrowed most of the money.

Your children and grand-children’s pockets just got picked. :-(
