A massive federal spending bill (click here) finally won the House's approval Thursday night, less than three hours before a midnight deadline that threatened a federal shutdown. The measure's fate had been in doubt after it narrowly survived a rules vote earlier in the day. The final tally was 219-206....
Even as the spending bill passed, the Republicans took the Department of Homeland Security as hostage. If any group of people seriously hate this country is it Republicans. As a party they think nothing of taking the people of this country as hostage to their politics. The country doesn't matter to them. If it did, these antics would not exist.
What is the worst the Democrats do, fund Food Stamps? That's a problem, huh?
It is no different than congressional votes to end the ACA. Why? The ACA is completely funded, there is absolutely no reason to deprive the people of the USA health care. No one is asking the congress to do anything outrageous with the national treasury. Providing health care to the underserved and food to the poor.
Excuse me? We need to fund Homeland Security because there are problems in the world and the USA is a target along with allies. This is ridiculous.
April 15, 2015 the list of pork barrel projects will be published. There isn't that much to object to. The worst is the Denali Commission which received a little over $1 million. It is an agency that oversees utility needs of distant communities in Alaska. That's pork? Really?
