People Get What They Requested for With Monstrous, Felony ‘Omnibus’ Spending Invoice

Christmas is simply across the nook, and everybody is worked up to hopefully make it dwelling regardless of the looming ‘bomb cyclone,’ which sounds extra just like the title of a tasty alcoholic beverage at Applebees versus a terrifying winter storm.

This season is crammed with so many traditions, most of that are beautiful. Nonetheless, one, particularly is horrible and is the worst this 12 months than any 12 months earlier than.

I’m, in fact, talking of Congress’ new custom of ramming by large spending payments nobody reads. This 12 months’s monstrosity dropped on Monday evening with the expectation that it’s going to cross earlier than this week is over.

I imply, in fact, we wouldn’t need our lawmakers not to have the ability to go dwelling and revel in Christmas! What sort of Christmas spirit would we have now if we anticipated our elected lawmakers to, you already know, do their job?

Simply Say No

I get pleasure from individuals who put a wrench within the system, primarily if it’s a system perpetuated by the federal government. We should always count on our elected leaders to be wrench throwers; it’s a approach to make sure that what’s being handed in Congress is sound and put some accountability on these clowns who declare they battle for us.

Senator Rand Paul is a wrench thrower, and I like him for it. He got here out yesterday and stated unequivocally that he could be saying no to the omnibus invoice. 

This invoice he’s towards is a whopping 4,155 pages and consists of $1.65 trillion price of spending. Congressman Dan Bishop defined that to learn your complete invoice, you’d must learn a little bit over 4 pages per minute for 16 hours straight with out a break.

After all, studying it that quick could be a fruitless endeavor, anyhow. The neatest particular person on the planet couldn’t retain that info, or be capable to search for the hundreds of current legal guidelines which might be being modified.

The omnibus was launched round 2am at the moment. The Senate is voting now to start debate on the invoice.

To have learn your complete invoice by now, you’ll’ve wanted to learn 4+ pages per minute, with out a single break, for 16 hours straight.

What a farce.

Most of our elected leaders on each the precise and the left will vote for this invoice with out having learn it. Extremely, these individuals get a wage with out having to learn what they put their names to.

So let’s take a peek at what’s on this invoice all of us get to pay for with our taxes.

What A Procuring Record

Twitter had a variety of nice threads final evening concerning the omnibus, however maybe the one which takes the cake comes from Congressman Bishop. Please test it out; it’s equal elements humorous and miserable.

Some gadgets he identified included ridiculous items akin to $3 million for “bee-friendly highways.” No one in DC is aware of what meaning; I don’t know what meaning; no person is aware of what meaning.

Little doubt that cash will go to some pointless environmental particular curiosity group that could be a subsidiary of a bigger group that I guess donated important funds to whoever slid that gem in there.

On a much less humorous observe, Mr. Bishop highlighted $575 million for ‘household planning’ in “areas the place inhabitants development threatens biodiversity.” Merely put, that is your taxpayer {dollars} going in the direction of companies like abortions to curb our inhabitants development within the title of environmental and animal development.

That sounds extra like a plot of a dystopian tv present than one thing that may occur in actual life, but right here we’re. However if you wish to know what Congress doesn’t care about, you have to take a look at what’s within the invoice for our border.

Cash For Them, However Not For Us

The omnibus invoice prohibits funds given to the Customs and Border Patrol to “purchase, keep or lengthen border safety know-how and capabilities.” You’d suppose Republicans, at a minimal, could be outraged by this.

As an alternative, they’re working victory laps for rising “protection” spending to document ranges. 

What’s much more maddening is what Mr. Bishop found that we’re spending cash on:

“…on the identical time, allocates $410 million in the direction of border safety for different nations, specifically Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman.”

So whereas our porous border is about to be flooded with extra unlawful immigrants, our lawmakers are throwing cash at different international locations to safe their sovereignty. In the meantime, down south, we’re witnessing an lively invasion of our nation facilitated by our representatives on the left and the precise.

And we will’t overlook our worldwide pawn in our proxy conflict with Russia. Ukraine predictably does very properly on this invoice. In the event you ask Senate Majority Chief Chuck Schumer, he tells you the reality that this invoice has nothing to do about serving to the residents of this nation:

“Finalizing the omnibus is important, completely important for supporting our buddies in Ukraine.”

So let’s look at how a lot Republicans will give over on this clean examine.

A Hefty Christmas Test

Ukraine predictably is getting $45 billion in assist, which can convey the general complete of help for this 12 months to $100 billion. The truth is, Congress is coughing up $8 billion extra than the Biden administration even requested for.

Let’s check out some of what’s entailed on this $45 billion:

• $9 billion to direct weapons and different army help
• $11.8 billion to replenish U.S. army shares on account of transfers to Ukraine
• $7 billion for U.S.-European command operations in help of Ukraine

The above isn’t even all-inclusive; we received’t know the total breakout till, you guessed it, the invoice is handed. 

Wow, properly achieved, Republicans; you actually delivered for us on that oversight and accountability. However, in fact, everyone seems to be all enthusiastic about one other massive occasion this week.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is making a shock journey to D.C. at the moment, his first journey exterior his nation because the conflict began over 300 days in the past. Gosh, I hope his Santa sack is massive sufficient to hold all that money again to Ukraine.

Naturally, our legislative fanboys and women are champing to listen to from the overseas chief. What a approach to cap off the 12 months. To maintain legislators within the space, Nancy Pelosi despatched out a letter:

“We’re ending a really particular session of the 117th Congress with laws that makes progress for the American individuals in addition to help for our democracy. Please be current for a really particular give attention to democracy Wednesday evening.”

Wow, for the cool price of $45 billion, we’ve bought a incredible evening of dinner and a present for our women and men in Congress. Merry Christmas to them, I suppose.

$44.9 billion for Ukraine within the Omnibus.

$16.7 billion for U.S. Customs and Border Safety.

Democrats proceed to guard a overseas nation’s border over our OWN.

We Requested For It

I hate to interrupt it to you, pricey reader, however we requested for this; actually, we ask for it 12 months after 12 months.

Senator Paul stated:

“The American individuals don’t need this, they’re sick and uninterested in it.”

However I’m afraid that isn’t true, irrespective of how a lot it must be. We’re those that hold reelecting the identical outdated politicians on the left and the precise. 

The worst individuals in politics from each events have teamed as much as demand Congress rubber-stamp a 4,155-page clean examine—many instances the size of the Bible.

A examine for $1,700,000,000,000 of your cash.

And so they need it stamped earlier than anybody can truly learn it.

Sounds legit.

We proceed to vote for these fools who promise us change and accountability, and 12 months after 12 months, they provide us the identical as all the time, waste and abuse. We ask for it every time we vote for them; in a approach, we endure as a nation for a must be damage, like political masochists drawn to our political sadists. 

I’m glad Rand Paul is saying no, however it received’t make a distinction, sadly. We’re those that have to say no, and till we do, we are going to proceed to pay for bee-friendly highways and proxy eternally wars in far-off lands.
