“We buckled,” said Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA) of congressional Republicans’ negotiations on Capitol Hill regarding a $1.3 trillion omnibus appropriations bill scheduled for a vote on Wednesday night.
Congressman Brat joined SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight for an interview with co-hosts Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak moments before entering the House to cast his vote.
Mansour asked if the Gateway Project — a massive tunnel, bridge, and infrastructure expansion and renovation project encompassing Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor passenger rail service linking Newark, NJ, and New York City, NY, which is estimated to cost approximately $30 billion by federal authorities — had been prioritized over a southern border wall. “Is it true that Chuck Schumer got his tunnel, but we got a pittance for the wall?”

Waiting for all of the 'conservative' Trump supporters to start chiming in on this one. Republican House, Republican Senate, Republican President and the country gets this. Worse than the Democrats, at least they tell you to your face they're willing to bankrupt the country
ReplyDeleteas long as people continue to get their government handouts they don`t care what the government does. all the welfare folks are happy, all the social security recipients are happy, all the disabled vets are happy,everyone who gets government money is happy, how do you think we got to 20 trillion in debt?
ReplyDeleteEveryone should be against the bill until those checks from mexico start showing up
ReplyDeleteMakes me glad that I voted for Rand Paul in the Primaries. This crap wouldn't be happening if he were leading the country.

ReplyDeleteIt shows all of us there was a lot of lip service paid during the el-ection. Mr POTUS is working for the same masters the rest of Washington works for: the globalists (Communists) Bankers
Trump is on a roll making this Country great again and the Fed is way past bankrupt anyway. The last thing we need is for Trump to STOP the government in view of the 2018 elections coming up. This is something to deal with later after 40% of the criminal Democratic Party is in prison. THEN he'll be able to do something REAL about it.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, it's up to us VOTERS to shovel the scum out of Congress and the Senate so the right decisions can be made in our near future.
Ah yes, Dave Brat, so right on this issue, but so very WRONG on aviation issues.
ReplyDeleteDave, spoken with literally hundreds of your constituents who are giving money to the other guy.
