The republican controlled House passed this massive spending bill, but want to cut programs for it's citizens, and there's an impending budget battle looming too, to raise the debt ceiling.

How can anyone in good conscience do this and turn their backs of people in need, namely, the American people?

This is why the so called "D" controlled house is NOT coming down the pipe...as much as people believe it is happening.

Because who will Liberals have to blame for the war mongering moving forward?

In the Republican Universe, it's immoral to use any tax money to help people, but it is perfectly moral to spend as much as possible to kill people. Self defense is legitimate, but that much money is unnecessary and irresponsible.

The Dems are bought and paid for by the Poverty Industry, Environmental lobbyists, Public Employee Unions, Higher Ed workers, Wall Street Financial companies, the Insurance Industry and the one percent.

The Republicans are bought and paid for by Defense Contractors, Big Pharma, Big Ag, Contractors using illegal labor, Wall Street Financial companies, the Insurance Industry and the one percent.

Transcript of the Constitution of the United States - Official Text

Article 1, Section 8 calls for a standing military. "To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;"

Please show me where it says the federal government has the power to spend on social programs.

We're not discussing WAR MONGERING here, we're talking about bloated defense spending bills. Whilst the R controlled House is all to willing to cut domestic programs.

But 598 billion dollars worth of Armies when Republicans b*tch about spending money on ANYTHING else? Sounds just a tad hypocritical to me.
