The smart dems (no such thing but grading on a curve) know how stupid they look supporting more taxes, more spending, more waste, violent illegal aliens, and the tired old “THAT’S RACIST.”

This is not the budge vote.

It was on HR 788:

Stop Settlement Slush Funds Act of 2023

This bill prohibits the federal government from entering into or enforcing a settlement agreement on behalf of the United States that provides for a payment to any person or entity other than the United States. The bill provides exceptions to allow payments that (1) remedy actual harm (including to the environment) caused by the party making the payment, or (2) constitute a payment for services rendered in connection with the case.

Government officials or agents who violate this prohibition may be removed from office or required to forfeit to the government any money they hold for such purposes to which they may otherwise be entitled.

Agencies must report annually for seven years to the Congressional Budget Office about the parties, funding sources, and distribution of funds for their settlement agreements permitted by the exceptions in this bill. The Office of Inspector General for each agency must also report annually on any settlement agreements that violate the bill’s requirements.

They love it because it’s a pig. It’s horrible. It adds 350 million to our annual using the rosiest, most bs, assumptions. It means 2 1/2 trillion dollar deficits per year.

I think this is a vote to suspend the rule for this bill and vote on it in a few days. I don’t think this is vote for passage.

This is just a vote to suspend the rules for a vote. Not the budget bill.

Actually, it's to suspend the rules and pass the Family Act - which is why it has near unanimous support.

Not related to the budget bill.

Actually, I'm wrong. They're passing a bunch of bills, but not the Budget Bill yet.

HR 804 is the one they passed when I was watching.

Here's the bill: HR 804

Lol, Ok. Thank you very much. For a minute there I was pissed I hadn’t heard about it.

“What family bill??? where is the media on this one???”

So I am glad it wasn’t, HR 804 is a great bill! Good news!
