"President Trump promised to secure the border and prevent illegal immigration, the omnibus funding bill helps achieve that."
Posted on 03/22/2018 8:04:30 PM PDT by EdnaMode
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer rushed out to celebrate the $1.3 trillion Omnibus bill that passed Congress today.
The record spending bill funds all of the Democrat Party’s pet projects and denies funding for Trump’s border wall
Democrats loved it!
Chuck Schumer cheered the bill:
“In a certain sense we were able to accomplish more in the minority than we had the presidency or were even in the majority.”
Minority leader Nancy Pelosi added:
“I think one of the reasons they rushed it through they didn’t want their colleagues to see what was in the bill.” It was a great day for Democrats. They get to blow more cash on the pet projects and illegal aliens — and Trump does not get his border wall.
You can be sure the Democrat Congress WILL NEVER return the favor when they take over Congress next year.

AMEN! That's been my advice since 2012. I had momentary hope in 2016 when Trump won the primary and the general. But now?
No...the swamp has won and that is what this stupid country seems to want. I'm just glad I live in Texas...and even we are getting stupid at times. It's time to let it fall land start over.
Shannon Bream said on her show tonight that Trump has already said he’s going to sign the bill! WTH?
In 1866 the Republican party was called The Party of Stupid (the guy coining it was a republican)
In 1989 the Democrat party was called The Party of Evil.
When stupid and evil get together it’s called Bipartisanship.
So there you are
The command and control of the Uni-Party (New York) has ordered the "Washington Generals-Republicans to take a dive.
Trump is upsetting the spending party and the billionaire oligarchs want to impeach him, so they are ordering the Republicans to lose elections in November.
Stop overreacting please
Bottom line
Good growth will DWARF spending
A ROARING economy will continue MAGA despite the media nonsense
A ROARING economy is the ONLY WAY we DONT GO BANKRUPT
EVEN IF Rand A Paulettte has 100% control and decreases spending 10 pct a year
Entitlements. 21 trillion and counting. We need to GROW
THEY CUT TGE BUSINESS TAX TO 21%. They’re streaming here
Jobs are out of control
Economy is growing at 4-4.5 now and steaming ahead
Stop the stupid handwringing FREEPERS.
you sound and look WEAK
Yime for the commercial where Uncle Sam tells the two year old it owes $40,000 in income tax and demands payment.....
Ummm they do hold the majority.
Time not Yime
Thank you donald john trump!! No veto donald?

The Congressional GOPee are very happy to try to buy their reelection while actively working to remove or stymie Trump.
Very Happy.
These ‘tards are happy to go down in flames to Get Trump!
I maintain the Republicans will lose 40 to 50 House seats. No one who supports Trump will waste their time to go out and vote for a candidate who operstes just like a Democrat.
Whats worse is this is all by design by the GOP. They want a Democrats majority so they dont have to vote for the Presidents agenda (which they oppose). Plus they know a Democrat majority will impeach Trump, which is what they want. Then the a few GOP congressmen and Senators can be convinced with the Democrats “evidence” and vote to remove Trump from office.
Despite Trumps win, this is still a very quickly dying country. It will not survive much longer.
Then what.
As early as 2009 Trump was a Democrat. So yeah, liberalism is to be expected.
It ain’t all about money. You sound like GOPe.
Veto is only path to survival!.
Yep...and a Democrat President by 2020 and then we will see some real aggressive gun control, open door immigration, and much higher taxes. All because the GOP doesn't like Trump ...and Americans.
“Then what?”
We become Venezuela.
No...it is not. You obviously have not seen the latest revisions...which have been revised WAY WAY WAY down. The 1st qtr was revised down from 5 to near 1.8% (see WSJ article from 28 Feb) and now the forecast for the year is around 2.7%. Next years estimate is 2.4% That's the real numbers. Your numbers were based on the Atlanta FED estimate, which are ALWAYS too high...and usually always get revised downwards...which have happened in this case.
So, the growth, at under 3%, is NOT enough to overcome decifit spending with taxes from a roaring economy that is not roaring. 2.4-2.7% growth is not roaring...and 1.8% is CERTAINLY not roaring. There has been limited wage growth...and that doesn't help.
PLUS...all of the companies that are benefiting from the tax cuts and are bringing their money back overseas are NOT putting their money into the economy. They are mostly using the tax money for stock buy-backs to support their stock prices to offset the falls from interest rate hike and QT. So, there goes THAT benefit to the tax cuts.
But...I've got time. Sit and watch. Come back in a year and see where we stand. I'll bookmark this page and set a timer on my phone.

We don’t elect a king. POTUS does not control Congress. I realize that might be too hard of a concept to understand for a moron like you.
The dims made sure that the pro-life add-ins didn’t get into the bill.
I’m wondering if Trump should veto this and ask for a do-over and have them include the pro-life add-ins.
