Any Republican complaints about fiscal irresponsibility in Washington have been falling on deaf ears for me since George W. Bush and John Boner expanded the Federal budget from $2 trillion to $3.5 trillion in just eight years. And that doesn’t even include off-budget appropriations like the pallets of billions of dollars of U.S. currency that was used to pay contractors and bribe tribal leaders in the Iraq war and occupation.
Yep and the Afghanistan expense total is now over $1 Trillion. More new $$ in this omnibus for Afghanistan security forces than the border wall/CBP.
