The House is poised to pass a bipartisan $1.1 trillion bill to fund the government, with GOP and Democratic whip teams going into overdrive to boost their numbers before the Friday morning vote.

Democratic leaders have voiced numerous objections to the package, particularly the inclusion of an end to a ban on crude oil exports and the failure to address Puerto Rico’s debt crisis. But with the White House urging support — and dozens of conservatives expected to buck GOP leaders and vote no — the Democrats are also scrambling to convince wary rank-and-file members that the current package is the best they can get.

Paul Ryan is no better than John Boehner. They sold us down river.

Didn't Rubio boast that he was going to slow down passage of this monstrosity?

Wonder if the Media will call him on it?  I won't hold my breath.

What makes it worse about Ryan helping to speed this POS through is that...(at the risk of sounding hysterical)...he KNEW as the Budget Committee Chairman what was in this thing.  But there he is when he becomes Boehner's Beard telling everyone he's going to change how things are done.

Right on the money.

Many of us know, Ryan has always been a progressive, but now he shines & is out of the closet.

Characteristics of progressives (my opinion): 
- forever liars
- screw the country with a smile on your face.
- the calmer the demeanor of a progressive, the more dangerous & anti-American they are.
- their Lord is greed, their Master is power & their instructional manual is Rules for radicals.
- forever hypocrites

Just for fun. (http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread903485/pg1)
