Sure! The cromnibus. I would not have done that at all.
The cromnibus kept Ryan-Murray spending caps of $521 billion for defense and $492 billion for non-defense spending. It left the Department of Homeland Security as the only agency not funded through the end of the fiscal year.
It included no new funding for Obamacare. It prohibited the transfer or release of detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba into the United States, meaning no civilian trials. It blocked funding of the risk corridors that, under the Affordable Care Act, could lead to a government bailout of the insurance companies. It maintained all the existing pro-life policy and funding provisions and added three more while cutting the funds for the Independent Payment Advisory Board (which is the body that would be recommending any rationing of health care) by $10 million.
The bill also cut funding for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency by $60 million, which is the fifth consecutive year the agency’s budget had been cut and may finally convince the bureaucrats who run the place they cannot go beyond what they are legally authorized to do without congressional approval. And it hit the Internal Revenue Service particularly hard, cutting its allocation of federal dollars by $345.6 million, prohibited it from targeting organizations because of the way they chose to exercise their First Amendment rights or on an ideological basis, punished it for its profligate abuse of taxpayer dollars on expensive, needless videos and conferences at luxury resorts, and prohibited the White House from ordering the review of any organization's tax exempt status.
You wouldn't have done any of that at all Bigun?
