House Republicans’ spending chief told his colleagues Wednesday that there is no waste in the $1.3 trillion spending bill lawmakers are rushing through Congress this week.
“We’ve worked to make sure not a dollar is wasted,” Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen, New Jersey Republican, said as he defended the massive bill before the House Rules Committee, pushing back against bipartisan frustration from lawmakers who said they couldn’t stomach voting on a 2,232-page bill with less than 24 hours’ time to read it.
But no less than President Trump disagreed with him, taking to Twitter to say he “had to waste money on Dem giveaways” in the bill in order to get his own military spending increases.

Republicans are the majority party and the Democrats are the minority party.
The minority party gets all they want, but the majority party comes up short.
Put simply, we have a problem.

You know something, Rodney, people don’t like to be lied to, especially in a way that implies that they are so incredibly stupid that you can tell them ANYTHING and they’ll believe it. The reaction that most people I know would have to that would be, “I was born in the morning, but not YESTERDAY morning.”

“What are the Republicans doing?”
Trying to lose big in 2018, both house and senate, to make sure Trump is impeached and removed from office.
