Republicans and Democrats Collude to Pass $1.3 Trillion Monstrosity



There’s plenty of collusion going on in Washington D.C. and there isn’t a Russian in sight. Both parties - Republican and Democrat - have conspired to impoverish this country by passing a monstrous $1.3 trillion spending bill that funds the government through September.


Are we not seeing a pattern here? It seems to me Congress always passes an omnibus bill around this time of year that takes us up to the elections. Republicans, in order to justify this crap, campaign on a lack of membership which they need to stop the spendthrifts in the Democratic Party. Then they pass a continuing resolution that takes us up to the holidays. Then, while the citizenry is making merry, they pass another continuing resolution right before Christmas that gets us through the winter, and here we are again with another omnibus bill. What a bunch of scoundrels.


As I was working to put food on my table, a roof over my head and payoff the federal mafia, I listened to various radio personalities contemplate the Republican Party’s atrocious behavior. The local talent hypothesized that the leadership would rather be a minority than govern. Rush Limbaugh, who always has a unique perspective, claimed that establishment Republicans passed this monstrosity as a means to alienate President Trump from his loyal supporters. I happen to think both perspectives are correct.


Whatever the subterfuge, conservatives need to hold candidates accountable by demanding to know who they support for Speaker of the House and majority leader in the Senate. I don’t want to hear any more excuses from these people. We know leadership sets the agenda, however, it’s the rank and file who vote them in.
