Congress and the American people have debated a number of different paths to try to hold President Obama accountable for his executive overreach. While there is still disagreement on which path is best, the path that we took in the House tonight is the first step to get us there. First and foremost, this bill holds the line on spending, implementing a spending level that is even lower than the one proposed in the original too conservative to pass Paul Ryan budget. Additionally, the bill implements conservative priorities such as an increase in pay and funding for our troops, as well as accountability measures for the IRS and EPA.
While the bill implements restraints on executive overreach in many areas, it could not turn off the funding stream that the President intends to use for his executive actions on immigration. As conservatives, we have all been very frustrated by recent attempts at unilateral lawmaking by the Obama Administration. There is a misconception, however, that if we shut down the government that we can prevent him from acting. A government shutdown cant stop him. His actions are funded with money that he raises through fees, so regrettably he can and will continue his unilateral efforts whether the government is funded or not. We must find another way.
Rather than having Americas attention focused on a government shutdown, we can shine the spotlight on the Presidents egregious executive actions. By funding most of government for the long-term, but limiting funding to two months for the Department of Homeland Securitythe agency planning to implement the Presidents unilateral actionwe will be able to narrow the entire funding conversation for the new Congress to this one department. The House, with a willing partner in the Senate having been sworn in, can then begin to move legislation to stop this Presidents actions. With smart, targeted bills we will partner with the American people to restore Constitutional order.
Having a willing partner in the Senate isnt something; it is everything. The House passed its funding bills beginning last May; but the Senate never passed a single funding bill all year. The American people can be certain that the new Senate sworn in this January will not repeat the current Senates inaction. The House can neither run the government nor rein in the President alone. Help is on the way in January, and it isnt coming one day too soon.
WE THE TAXPAYING AMERICANS HAVE BUT 1 REAL OPTION - IF OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS CANNOT AND WILL NOT CUT SPENDING FOR ILLEGAL ACTIONS BY THIS COMMUNIST PRESIDENT, THEN WE CAN STOP SENDING THE TAX MONEY THEY ARE USING TO DO THESE ILLEGAL ACTS.
GET OUT YOUR W-2 FORMS and UP YOUR DEDUCTIONS TO THE POINT WHERE NO MONEY IS TAKEN FROM YOUR PAYCHECK!!!
95 percent of elected Republican either pretend to be conservative or repudiate being conservative.
In a few weeks this guy and others will crown John Boehner and the leadership team that put the big spending bill through as their leaders for the new session of Congress.
This malignancy of a bill has 2,000 pages. None of these traitors read it. Criminals...Traitors.
Mexican money flow from 2007
In 2005 there were approximately 7.2 million illegal immigrants working in our civilian workforce. They accounted for 4.9% of the 148 million workers we had.
And while 31% of them were in service jobs, and 19% were doing construction work, they were in no case essential to these industries.
They just displaced American workers who couldn’t take wage and benefit cuts
No other nation on earth permits or encourages illegal immigration like we do. No other nation has “sanctuary cities” in which local authorities refuse to cooperate with federal authorities in enforcing federal law. No other nation elects politicians and judges who think law breakers should be entitled to generous taxpayer supplied benefits.

NATIONAL MUSEUM ‘OF AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY’:
The agreement includes ‘$24 million to complete the federal government’s contribution’ to the new museum being built on the Mall. The rest of the money will be raised through private donations.
So after all their demands in the streets they want a 24 million “CONTRIBUTION from the American taxpayer for a Museum. 24 million!!!
Why don’t the rich blacks spearheading this Museum just use that money to educate and change the culture mindset of their people so they can rise above the fray????
I sooo hate our Government more every day for it’s foolish spending!

Short answer to that one: Obama has the credit card, and not paying the bill won’t stop him from using it.
Care to elaborate? objective details?
No one has time to read thru 1700 pages bill as usual. GOP claimed that they can limit funding to HLS in Feb next year. It is a joke. No matter how you look at, it is a sucker deal for voters.
$300 trillion is just under a million dollars for every man, woman, and child in the country.
Rand Paul On Shutdown: "Even Though It Appeared I Was Participating In It, It Was A Dumb Idea"I said throughout the whole battle that shutting down the government was a dumb idea. Even though it did appear as if I was participating in it, I said it was a dumb idea. And the reason I voted for it, though, is that it's a conundrum. Here's the conundrum. We have a $17 trillion debt and people at home tell me you can't give the president a blank check. We just can't keep raising the debt ceiling without conditions. So unconditionally raising the debt ceiling, nobody at home wants me to vote for that and I can't vote for that. But the conundrum is if I don't we do approach these deadlines. So there is an impasse. In 2011, though, we had this impasse and the president did negotiate. We got the sequester. If we were to extend the sequester from discretionary spending to all the entitlements we would actually fix our problem within a few years.[Posted on 11/19/2013 12:16:51 PM by Third Person]

Right out of the gate he obfuscates. The bill gives $1 billion dollars to care for Obama’s illegal children.
