Republicans control the Presidency, House, and Senate – and the floodgates of federal spending have been blown wide open. The $585 billion deficit in 2016 that Obama left Trump has increased to $665 billion in 2017, and we’re on track for trillion dollar deficits this year, which we haven’t seen since 2012. According to a range of estimates, the deficit will be between $800 billion – $1 trillion in fiscal year 2019.
There’s no excuse for this, and real conservatives are outraged. On his show last night, Mark Levin blasted our Republican representatives for “spending like drunken Marxists” and for “funding every leftwing program and project imaginable.”
“Do you know, today as I speak, your Republican Congress is about to pass an omnibus – and it’s ominous, really – but an omnibus spending bill that is a monster bill?” asked Mark Levin about the Republicans and their profligate spending in Washington D.C. “It is a massive spending bill. It’s going to drive up the deficit this year and drive up the debt. And they’re funding every leftwing program and project imaginable.”
Levin’s comments come as the GOP is scrambling to pass a $1.3 trillion, 2,232-page omnibus bill with the threat of another government shutdown looming. The conservative House Freedom Caucus has said all 32 of its members would vote unanimously against the bill.
In a statement, they wrote that “The policy proposals outlined in this … bill are not consistent with what we told the American people we would do when they sent us to Washington. Many of the policies in the bill are in fact the opposite of what we promised. This is an insult to America’s taxpayers, as well as their many rank-and-file representatives who had no say in the omnibus negotiations.”

Justin Amash pointed out that a vote on the spending bill was purposefully scheduled so close to its public release so that nobody would be able to read it.
House leaders have scheduled this vote to occur less than 17 hours after the bill was made available.@SpeakerRyan and @NancyPelosi agree: “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.” https://t.co/PGz6QOKhhw

What are Republicans thinking? If they’re just going to spend like Democrats, why would anyone bother voting for them again?
Do we need Trump to continue draining the swamp in Washington on both sides?

Past time for term limits and get rid of the old guard and get some new blood in the Republican Party.
Time to vote in independents, and get both worthless parties the hell out.
Mark Levin, The best ever. Thanks FOX NEWS!
ARTICLE V of the US Constitution was written so that We the People of these Several United States had tools available to take control of the direction of our own government back whenever we had umberance with those in DC who forgot why we elected them. It’s time to do it, in my opinion… the DC Elite are calling our bluff, put up or shut up…
The Republican party is just the right wing of the Socialists. Both parties are working to the same globalist goal from different angles. They keep us busy arguing about the crap the media feeds us while the take America apart. Well the time for argument is over it is time for action and it may be to late.
SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT—if that what it takes to come up with a better budget deal. Why is that these deals always wait until the 11th hour and then everyone scrambles to come up with something? This is no more than a repeat of Pelosi’s “Let’s pass it and then we will see what’s in it”…Obamacare! WHY is congress appeasing the democrats when all they contribute is obstruction? NO, THIS IS NOT WHAT REPUBLICANS VOTED FOR!!!
This is beyond insane the Senate has 12 hours to go through 2200+ pages of BS .. How did we let that down Shumer and Hag Pelosi anywhere near this ? .. and Trump is going to sign it
=
He is NOT spending money toward the left… quite the opposite. This money will be recouped in other ways that will not be charged to citizens. His tariffs are a bargaining chip.. Those who deal fair with us, will recieve and adjusted tariff. Those who do NOT want to play fair will pay through the nose… AT last !!!… a man with a business mind who know what he is doing… Wait and watch America come back… wait and watch the left drop like flies and wind up in prison… I cannot wait !!
this spending bill should not happen. we are crushed from within.
I guess the Republicans want to lose the House, Senate, and the Presidency. People are not gonna stand for this.
This is another very serious decision against Americans. If Trump signs this he would be sticking it to us, right on the heels of upping the age for gun purchases to 21, which encouraged States to create an unconstitutional law to confiscate guns without due process.
If this budget goes through, then it is safe to say Trump is a traitor, which I’ve been saying since the gun age change. Remember, our Constitution should be held as sacred so if Trump is stomping on it, then how many chances do we give him?
We will collapse as a nation before the year is out. I’m buying more weapons and ammo starting this week. Thank you President Trump.
Trump will sign this. If you are white and you vote democrat you are voting for your own demise. Just look at who runs the DNC. A Hispanic racist and a black racist that is friends with Louis Farrakhan.
Republicans today suck. I think they’re almost all demoncrap plants! I hope Trump vetoes this crap! If he doesn’t, he can probably kiss 2020 bye bye!
Trump should veto the bill and shut the corrupt government down and we would all be better off. Besides what is really shut down? Nothing of importance that is destroy anything. For the palm greasing Payola will go on to the most corrupt people on the Planet the Politicians.
What’s wrong are you trying to prevent the scum bag Politicians from getting their Palms grease with payola? Hell this is a piker in comparison to the Payola that the Politicians get to grease their palms from the Pharmaceuticals/FDA to approve high price, high profit poison drugs that murder over 100,000 people each year. Of course you will never hear this from the slime ball so called News Media People with the propaganda, like the Clown Joe who was the Court Jester for Obummer for years going to beat up Trump. One more thing, I have not believed any scum so called News Media People in over 60 years for if they have the truth they will corrupt it until it is a lie. Just what have these scum Politicians given us? Over 400 now ruling Federal Agencies that have the powers to rob you of your money, Steal your property and murder you if you stand in the way of the Politicians getting their palms grease. Have a good day and try to find the truth.
If Trump does not veto this monstrosity, then he’s no better than the rest of them.
I HATE the spending! I do want to reply to why people would vote for Republicans again even though things are like they are. 1. They give freedom of religion a true opportunity to be just that. 2. Abortions are not increased to full term! 3. We aren’t talking about “open borders”/Building a wall EVEN if we have to pay for it is much more conducive to keeping drugs on that side and out of American hands. 4. There is a fight to keep illegal drugs away from our children! I could let this list grow longer but I think I’ve said enough. I agree that the spending is out of hand. However, even as bad as it is, it’s not as bad as if Democrats were reigning. I have NO desire to go back into that nightmare again! YOU bet I’ll vote Republican next time around!
I will also vote Republican again because there is no other American choice, however, I must say that I will be sorely disappointed if President Trump allows this disaster to be passed. Again, there is NO better option except to vote THESE Republicans out and replace them with new, fresh conservatives. The real problem here is that many Republicans are acting/voting like Democrats! Switching to vote for Democrats just cements the problem. Stay the course!
Well pelosi likes it so that is a guarantee that it’s bad for America and its citizens !
NOW is the time to Watch and count all of those that Vote for this Huge Spending Bill. Those that vote for it, should be given the opportunity to seek employment in another Field,,,, Not Government!
The difference between the DOC and the GOP is that the DOC wants to socialized this country t 100 mph and the GOP at 50 mph. Both parties are big government and it would appear that the GOP will gladly give up control of the House and Senate if it means they can get rid of Trump. Congress is clearly suicidal.
No pork belly no fat envelope.
GOODY . . .! The system is alive and well . . .! Always need something we can read before it passes to evaluate the impact on our pockets and the small change we have left. The bigger the budget, the better so we have some place to start ‘whittlin’ back to reason. Depends on where we spend. Big DoD hopefully and mayby NASA to get us “Closer . . .to Touch The Face Of God!” Again . . .!

does not look good x Its the same – same o same o x Need to stop all this POLITICAL CORRECT NONSENSE otherwise the only ONES that get away with this are the Politicians and everybody gets burned irregardless of Political Affiliation so WAKE UP AMERICANS
This whole government…both sides…ridiculous….I’m sick of all of it
This is totaly ludicrous & hopefully will NOT get passed or Trump will veto it. These criminals in Congress need to learn fiscal responsibility instead of spending taxpayer dollars like there is no tomorrow. Totally fed up with our government. We need to institute term limits & get these idiots out of the White House!
Trump is the self described debt King. We expect this guy who went bankrupt 5 times to veto this bill?
It isn’t the De4mocrats that caused this problem, it is the enormous tax cut giveaway the Republicans voted for the ultra-rich 1% of Americans, pushed by the Koch brothers. This will nothing to stimulate the economy, they will just buy a larger yacht and our grandchildren will have an unmanageable debt. .Wait until November.
What fairy land are you living in today Paul.
