It was made public. Basically. Little border wall- no new 10000 immigration officers hires and some money to stop gun violence -mucho money to military

I'm not even sure why we have two political parties anymore; they're practically all the same...spend, spend, spend. The majority don't have the guts to bring the spending under control. I still say that it's their intention to bankrupt the country in order to start over, including that pesky Constitution that ties their hands.

If anything proves your theory, its this bill. Best to sign up for classes in Mandarin.

The punctuation is correct. Notice no "?".
Nice dodge. The question for you is this: what is the point in voting GOP when they give the farm away to Dems who are quite happy with the bill?

Notice the "?"

I can hear Republicans now justifying this budget bill :

Well you know it costs a lot of money to Make America Great Again !

Also where is that money from Mexico to build the wall?

They need to be funded to defend the country, NOT for asinine wars of choice for things like regime change which the Constitution does not task us to do.
I don't disagree with what you are saying.
I would add what is the point in voting Dem when they do nothing to stop NK or Iran's nuclear ambition. Who will be only to happy to use them. The only up side for a citizen is with their open border agenda, it's likely they will kill more illegals than citizens when they drop the bomb.

Neither party can agree on anything, they don't have the ability to compromise and with Trump in office there is a total lack of leadership from the top. They haven't been able to pass a budget in years, that is why they are passing 1 month or 1 year budgets.


Anyone that thinks that they can actually cut spending needs to be institutionalized.

The main reason at this point is it would keep Burnie Stalin out of the WH.

Well, these spending hikes are the result of what you voted for, so you have only yourself to blame.
