The Omnibus Disgrace

Quote
The omnibus spending bill was crafted in secret and will be passed under pressure; raises discretionary spending as the national debt grows; and fails to deliver on any major GOP priorities except increased defense spending. What might turn out to be the signature achievement of unified Republican government this year is the sort of legislation that would have been right at home in the Obama administration . . .

. . . During the Obama administration, we argued that the federal budgetary process had become an exercise in reckless liberal overreach. The federal government was abusing the budgetary process, we said, wasting money and expanding itself at the expense of civil society. The hope was that once the GOP gained power, it would act with procedural integrity, begin to try to return the government to its proper role, and deliver significant conservative victories on budgetary policy.

Instead, Republicans are poised to pass an omnibus bill that, with the exception of the defense spending, is an embarrassment and a disgrace.

No point voting for Republicans whatsoever.

We might as well have had Hillary in there.

Might as well vote for Democrats, and get the same thing from the 'experts' of government largesse and tyranny.

As long as we have a Federal Reserve that can just print out the money, this will never end  until it has to

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

That day of reckoning will come soon. 

Venezuela and Argentina's collapse will be a picnic in comparison.
