Exactly. Whatever happened to the Appropirations process?

These omnibus spending bills were the brainchild of Newt Gingrich back in the day when Bill Clinton was threatening to shut the government down every Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Back then, they were called Continuing Resolutions. Somehow that morphed into Omnibus Spending Bills.

Goodbye, debate and discussion, hello, massive debt.

These omnibus spending bills were the brainchild of Newt Gingrich back in the day when Bill Clinton was threatening to shut the government down every Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Partner, I also though the drunkard Speaker John Boenher and Rino Paul both should have started the Appropriations process but they stayed on the Continuing Resolutions and the Continuing Omnibus Spending Bills.

The Appropriations Bills must be put into the yearly budget process and not this convoluted garbage called the Omnibus Bills that Congress keeps sending to our POTUS.
Sam Rayburn who was a very good democrat sent in yearly budgets to our POTUS.

Sam Rayburn from Texas was the last great Speaker from the our great State of Texas.
