See: Trump: Republicans ‘threw in the towel’ on spending bill
December 18, 2015
"Trump on Friday blasted the spending bill, saying it would result in "higher deficits, greater debt, less economic liberty and more corporate welfare."
"Congress cannot seem to help itself in bending to every whim of special interests," Trump said. "How can they face their constituents when they continue to burden our children and grandchildren with debts they will never be able to repay? Our government is failing us, so we must do something about it. Who knows how bad things will be when the next administration comes in and has to pick up the pieces?"
"How can they face their constituents when they continue to burden our children and grandchildren with debts they will never be able to repay?" Most of them avoid facing their constituents by not holding periodic town hall meetings and encouraging their constituents to attend with an open mike so constituents can express their views and question their representative's actions face to face.
The unfortunate truth is, most members of Congress, regardless of their political party affiliation, come face to face and in secret with their big buck donor class to be instructed how to vote. As for the ordinary voter who suffers the devastating consequences of their representatives' actions [the national debt, loss of economic liberty, the devastating consequences of uncontrolled immigration, etc.] they are constantly lied to through a complicit mainstream media, and told how awful the opposing political party members are while enjoying the fruits for selling their vote to the highest bidders.
The bottom line is, Paul Ryan's spending bill exhibits how devious and nefarious both political party leaderships have become and have joined hands to serve their own interests, while ignoring the general welfare of the United States and the best interest of their constituents who will suffer the consequences of a corrupted federal government which puts the Mafia Mobs of the twenties to shame.
JWK
Let us not forget this coming election the betrayal by House Republicans and Senate Republicans who voted in favor of Paul Ryan's Bill to finance Obama's invasion of our borders!
You are RIGHT about that.
I've watched 75% of his sppeeches LIVE online and it's as if the GOOD LORD is assisting him... and maybe he is!
I recently asked my neighbor's wife what she thought of Trump and she said with a wink.. "God works in mysterious ways."
I like your neighbor’s wife. Wise lady.
That’s exactly what I intend to do. They all go, the good, the bad and the ugly. (I don’t think I have any good)

He strikes me as narcissistic and unstable.
Glad you said that. I have the same impression. There is an invisible hand swatting away Trump opposition.
It is amazing to behold and Trump seems to count on the invisible hand and he knows it is there. His confidence is intoxicating. Confidence from the latin confideo which means go with God.
We all SEE what we think we see.
You may be right.. and you could be wrong.
As my mother used to tell me.. "it's ALL in how you look at it."
he is charismatic and confident
he mixes leadership with Aristotelian sophistry
“He strikes me as narcissistic and unstable”
We are talking about Trump not Obama. :-)
Yes, we can vote out all our incumbents, but the Democrats won’t do that at all. On second thought, our little Republican primary voters are so much like Democrats that they won’t vote out their “friendly” incumbents either.
I don’t know, that may be fear mongering. I think that Democrat voters are just as tired of the BS in DC. The problem really is, everyone hates everyone elses rep. Their own, they love them.
