Your Guvmint at Work: 1,159-Page Border Funding/Spending Bill Drops This Morning, Before Friday Vote
Quote | Reply
Guess we need to pass it before we can see what's in it, right?


Looks like the big border funding bill that supposedly contains money for President Dumbass to continue building The Wall (because it is, in fact, being built even as we speak) dropped this morning. Congress has until 11:59 P.M. tomorrow evening to get it passed, so that the guy in the White House can sign and so that all us normal people can actually see what's in it. Word is, there are some so-called 'poison pills' in the legislation that would prevent Mr. SuperGenius from moving money from other guvmint accounts to add to the pittance (relatively speaking) Dems want to see going toward any southern border strengthening.

I don't know what's in the ending bill and the fuckers who wrote the thing don't want you to know what's in it, either. That includes the old hose beast, Nancy Pelosi, in the House. She immediately endorsed it when it was released. That should tell you a great deal about what's going on, huh?

No doubt, it's also larded up with all kinds of bullshit spending that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the matter at hand, but your masters in Congress couldn't care less. They just want this steaming pile of horse shit signed ASAP, no questions asked by any of us.

The biggest insult to us, the poor citizens/taxpayers is that this is a spending bill, not a report from border/security experts as to what kind (if any) barrier is needed to improve border security. If there isn't a map of the border, showing where a wall would be beneficial and where just a fence or electronic monitoring is sufficient, then this is just another government shitshow.

    Number out today show retail sales biggest drop (1.2%) in 9 years, January may not look good either according to some wonk on NPR. My first thought was that maybe this will play in Trump's decision to sign, fearing that some bad news may attach to him.
