when the sequester was broken, the worms permanently escaped the can.
> $425 million for election security
“paying leftist NGOs to be poll workers”
Turns out dems are right a huge budget aint no thing.
It would have been great if PDJT refused to sign until his trail was completed.
OMG 1.4 TRILLION, I guess GOP being the party to cut spending has gone COMPLETELY out the window GEEZE LOUISE!!!
It’s only money. Our grandkids money.
Kicking the can down the road is never a good thing.
Trump’s business plan has always been working on large debit. I never expected him to cut the budget. Throwing criminals in jail... That is what I want for “next” Christmas
Congress doesn’t mind the president doing their job for them when its to their advantage.
Why even bother coming up with budgets when you just push ‘emergency spending bills’ that basically make it the president’s responsibility to sign?
This country needs a hard freaking reset.
Some commentary on the steaming pile of omnibus:
If Democrats want “election security”, we know it’s misnamed. Otherwise they’d be ensuring their own perpetual defeat.
The Hill is a ass. That 426 billion dollar tax cut will probably end up increasing revenue to the Treasury. If there really is such a tax cut. Being part of the Fake News Media, I don’t automatically believe The Hill.
Well, if anyone had ANY doubts about the ‘continuing resolutions’, is it a MIRACLE that the ‘do or die’ date came Christmas week?
Of course, what BETTER time to ‘shut it down’ when the Force is at ‘peak leave period’ etc, could have let them swing for a week or two etc and a LOT of them would be ‘happy’ for the complete holiday period off(ESPECIALLY when the Govt is wont to pay them anyway)...
Considering the LIBs hold the ‘cards’ (could of been worse) they crammed as much crap in there as they possible could - I can just picture ‘Snidely Whiplash’ and his sneer everytime ‘they’ added another craw in the side of the President.
Gun Control? Climate Control? NO WALL funding?
This basically wipes out the campaign line that BO ran the economy into the ground as they get PDJT to sign a bad bill, didn’t the whole BO regime go without a viable budget, just CRs?
This could very well be the ‘new no taxes’ platform that the LIBs were looking for.
Wouldn’t it be ‘nice if PDJT were to run as an I (or something) and take all HIS campaign contributions with him and hopefully getting enough people to run under his new ticket?
It is almost as shameful as saying ‘we (and our ilk)’ back the Rs as it would be saying ‘we’ support the LIBs.
Non essential workers rejoice! Crisis averted!
DIDN’T HE PROMISE HE WAS NEVER GOING TO SIGN ANOTHER ONE OF THESE?
From Bing:
“REAGAN DELIVERS HIS BUDGET TO CONGRESS WITH A WARNING …
“Mar 11, 1981 · President Reagan sent to Congress today a proposed $695 billion budget for the fiscal year 1982 that he portrayed as the centerpiece of his plan to ‘’stop runaway inflation’’
1982 budget: $695 billion
2019 budget: $4.4 trillion (or maybe even more)
The US Government, permanent bureaucracy and nanny-state are on nearly complete auto-pilot. They are fed by massive debt, printed, fiat money and manipulated interest rates - courtesy of the Federal Reserve.
Trump, Congress, nor anyone else won’t / can’t change any of that.
At this point there’s no point in trying to fight about budgetary measures anymore both Republicans and Democrats all feet at the trough there’s nobody willing to fight this fight so you’ll just be alone doing it
and Furthermorein my view money is not real- I repeat - money is not real anyway so it really doesn’t matter
For example China - supposedly has all these bank notes of ours and owns all this debt - and look at the problems that they have ! and look at how dependent they are on us !
because real economy doesn’t really have anything to do with money - that’s what the facts of the world are!
Economies in the world existed for millennia before there was money
Gold and silver obviously were for sure for real
What True economics has to do with has to do with entrepreneurism and people wanting to work
Always with the “lost revenue = a cost” theme.
