All Y'all!

You should hear the "Full Measure" report on the Omnibus bill trick, and how Congress has been scamming us for decades.

From Sharyl Attkisson:

There are supposed to be 12 separate appropriations bills, each for a different government sector. Instead, they use the “emergency” Onmibus (everything) bill to cram pork into it (or unauthorized programs) 1/3 of the money going for unauthorized programs.

There is supposed to be a review of programs every 5 years, which they fail to do. Sometimes the programs stop, but the funding still continues.

Representative Buck...several other Republican Congressmen have formed a reform caucus to end these practices.

Navy has wasted $4 billion since 2004, could have bought many fighters, ships and missiles for that money.

We need to read up on and seek out Congressman Buck.
