President Biden on Saturday signed a $1.2 trillion government funding bill to stave off a government shutdown, capping a frenetic sprint by lawmakers to pass the final batch of appropriations measures.

Biden praised the measure as a compromise, and “good news for the American people.”

“This agreement represents a compromise, which means neither side got everything it wanted,” Biden continued, emphasizing that it rejected “extreme cuts from House Republicans and expands access to child care, invests in cancer research, funds mental health and substance use care, advances American leadership abroad, and provides resources to secure the border that my Administration successfully fought to include. That’s good news for the American people.”

Seems like Republicans let Democrats run roughshod over this country with their bills and Republicans get 48 hours or less to read the bill and then cave in or look like they are the evil ones not funding the government.

Aren’t border agents just glorified water dispensers for these tired and thirsty “migrants”? Is border patrol even allowed guns anymore?

We’ve seen their playbook time after time. There will be claims that any such budget kills Social Security and Medicare, with updated video of conservatives pushing old ladies over the cliff.

It’s a great thought, but not something nearly anyone will support once it comes home to them or their family.

What’s another trillion! The debt will not be paid for in 50 generations of a thousand years.

What’s another trillion! The debt will not be paid for in 50 generations of a thousand years. In an interview Tucker Carlson did with Ron Paul, the former Congressman stated the only way the debt can be paid is by inflating the currency (inflation destroying the value of the dollar).

Brandon & our Quisling ‘republicans’ wanted to spend TRILLIONS of dollars and ‘We The People’ did NOT want to spend TRILLIONS of dollars.

So, we ‘compromised’ and WILL spend TRILLIONS of dollars!

Or... “This agreement represents a compromise, which means one side got almost everything it wanted, and the other side got a Shit Sandwich” Biden said.

hang on to power, even when caught w/ his pants down.
