Title: Same Old Shit -- Different Day. $1.5T Omnibus Passes Congress Without Being Read
Post by: Eupher on March 10, 2022, 05:06:44 PM
Sigh. What part of "****ed up budget bill" do the Republicans not understand? Nancy Pelousy belongs in prison. But if McCarthy and his $200 haircuts thinks he's better than she is, he'd better think again. He's just as ****ed up as she is.

Here are the Rethuglicans who voted for this POS bill without reading it:

A $1.5 trillion omnibus bill, which included $13.6 billion in aid for Ukraine, passed the Democrat-controlled House Wednesday night, successfully averting a partial government shutdown.

So, what are all the details of the 2,700-page spending package? Does anyone know?

Trust me, no one does. In fact, if you blinked on Wednesday you may not have known about it, because this massive spending bill was introduced in the middle of the night on the same day it was passed.

Pelosi scoffed at criticism over the timing of the bill’s introduction and the fact that no time was given for members of Congress to review the bill.

“Let’s grow up about this,” she said. “We are in a legislative process. We have a deadline.”

Is anyone having an Obamacare flashback? Back in 2010, in her push to pass Obamacare, Nancy Pelosi argued that “we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what’s in it.” Now, twelve years later, she’s essentially making the same argument: the bill is too important to worry about such formalities as reading it and knowing what’s actually in it.

Yet, surprisingly, Republicans voted for it. The defense portion of the spending package passed 361-69, and the domestic spending portion passed 260-171, with Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) voting present.

The legislation is now off to the U.S. Senate.

I'm expecting my retirement to be worthless by the time I am ready for it.

I'm already retired (well, mostly) and my retirement is pretty much worthless RIGHT NOW. (Thanks, #SharterJoe. You have your $31 million from your criminal enterprises with your son Hunter and therefore don't feel the pinch, but many do.)

The interesting thing is, my 'nadless GOP Rep, French Hill, either didn't vote for this bill, voted against it, or declared himself "not present." I'm betting on "not present" because he's 'nadless.

The question is -- why would these turds vote for something they don't understand, much less haven't read? Seems like an abrogation of duty to me.

With the way things are going I've already resigned myself to never being able to retire and will have to work until I'm physically unable to preform the job.
