Conservatives are understandably frustrated by the $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill that President Donald Trump signed into law, under protest, on Friday.
The massive size of the bill makes a mockery of Republican promises since 2009 to restrain spending and return to balanced budget once they returned to power.
The large number of giveaways to Democratic Party projects and special interests is a sign that the Swamp is still alive and festering in the Trump era.
The fact that the 2,232-page bill was jammed down legislators’ throats with literally no time to read it shows how little has changed in Washington even after the Tea Party.
And the lack of real funding for the border wall — Trump’s core campaign promise in 2016 — suggests that Trump is “getting rolled” by both parties.
But the omnibus is not a disaster. In fact, Republicans scored many important wins...

$1,300,000,000,000 in six months (that's $300,000,000 per hour).
That is a disaster.
Amen. Appears to be no difference between Dubocrats and Repukes??
This article sure tried to gold plate this turd. So little to plate it with. Well gold I suppose their pay raise.
Unless Trump does an Obama and shifts funds around this was a total capitulation.
Well they had top pass obamacare to know what was in it. Did they complain because there wasn't time enough to read it?
