Sorry to report on this. The Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, is no longer with us. He has been abducted by a UFO, taken to a far away planet, and replaced with some kind of out of control robot. BTW, the same thing happened to Senate Leader McConnell. How do I know this? Did I hear from the aliens? Nope. I could tell these robots who replaced Ryan and McConnell are fake. The REAL Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell would NEVER put a 2,200 page, $1.3T omnibus spending bill on the floor for a vote.
Some might think that this a joke. That our Republicans would parade around acting like Democrats. The best part of this bill? It shows the base, they wasted their vote in 2016. A time long, long ago - Republicans stood for fiscal sanity. Today - not so much. Today the sucking of the swamp is just too strong. So strong it takes people of principal and turns them into Washington centrists. Go along, get along. Meanwhile, the cost and size of our government is going up like a rocket.
Back to reality. Hey Ryan - do you want to be a "back bencher" again? What the flip is wrong with you? This is what we rallied against when we were in the minority. Now that we are controlling the House, Senate and White House, we are acting just like the other side did- maybe worse!
The only thing in the entire bill which made sense to me, was the increase in military funding. Not that I am a war hawk - the "sequester" has put our military in a state of non-readiness. I am good with our troops getting a normal pay raise. I am good with more money for operation and maintenance. I am good with more money for training. And I am even good with more money for equipment and additional troops.
Other than that, this POS spending bill off the floor. Defense - yes. Border security - put it back in. Planned Parenthood - get that murdering **** out of this bill. There are a hundred other things I could mention, but they have already been exposed by others smarter than I.
Bottom line, get this thing right, and then get the President to sign it. Most of us don't give a rat's behind if the government shuts down for a few days (or longer). Do it right, get it right. Remember, you are on the Right. Failure to deliver will result in a failure to get re-elected. Joking? No, just a fact.
Your head must be spinning like the girl in the "Exorsist" as you watch your party devolve before your eyes! We knew 45 was a Rhino, but this spending spree is out of control. First, tax scam, now this. Pork barrel politics at its finest!
ReplyDeleteAnd the frosting on the cake, tariffs on the Chinese, increasing prices for all those phones and chips that reside in everything we buy. Tax on the American consumer, all to please his base? His base wouldn't know a tariff from Bud Light.
Farmers in every state are talking to their banks, figuring out if they can continue with China and Mexico markets gone.
401K's tanking, interest rates rising, debt at new record levels and jobs disappearing.
I don't know how long he will be in office or GOP will retain control, but the damage being done to the economy will last decades if 45 is allowed to govern with his emotion vs common sense and facts.
Didn't take China long to respond!
DeleteBolton is a good pick; lot's of experience under 3 real presidents, hates NORK as much as Bird (first strike advocate), favored the Iraq adventure, sports a walrus mustache (45 will make him shave it off) and it all probably doesn't matter unless 45 listens to him last and then makes his usual impulsive decisions on the last thing he hears rather than common sense and facts.
