These bastards ought to face trial for fiscal treason.

[b4its2late]

Voting early and quickly to get out of town for the long winter break, otherwise know to most of us as Christmas.

[brothers4thID]

Will Rubio show up to vote?

[MNJohnnie]

This is what LEADERSHIP looks like.

DONALD J. TRUMP STATEMENT ON BUDGET DEAL

(New York, NY) December 17, 2015 “If anyone needed more evidence of why the American people are suffering at the hands of their own government, look no further than the budget deal announced by Speaker Ryan. In order to avoid a government shutdown, a cowardly threat from an incompetent President, the elected Republicans in Congress threw in the towel and showed absolutely no budget discipline.

The American people will have to absorb higher deficits, greater debt, less economic liberty and more corporate welfare. Congress cannot seem to help itself in bending to every whim of special interests. How can they face their constituents when they continue to burden our children and grandchildren with debts they will never be able to repay? Our government is failing us, so we must do something about it. Who knows how bad things will be when the next administration comes in and has to pick up the pieces?

The only special interest not being served by our government is the American people. It is time we imposed budget discipline by holding the line on spending, getting rid of waste, fraud and abuse, and by taking on our debt. To do these things, we need a President who can lead the fight to hold Congress and the rest of government accountable. Together, we can Make America Great Again.

[Harpotoo]

Who gives a damn at this point...

[MNlurker]

Well I’ve already been betrayed by my congressman (Grothman) lets see if Johnson decides to do the same.

[Old Sarge]

What difference, at this point, does it make?

[TexasCajun]

Anyone want to bet Texas John Cornyn will not vote Nay?

I'll take your bet!

(He may, but only if he knows enough Dems vote Yeah for him.)

[Old Sarge]

To your entire post, I can only say:

[JoSixChip]

Will Rubio show up to vote?

Did Cruz?

[MNJohnnie]

I do. I will not just roll over and play dead on my children and my grandchild

[glennaro]

As is most always the case, the fix is in ... allowing senators in conservative districts to vote "no" because there are enough votes to give the mulatto-marxist-muslim president all that he desires. Many of these duplicitous senators would vote "yes" if their votes would make a difference ... one of the big problems (if not the biggest) when the government consists of "professional politicians").

I'm disgusted with the whole lot of them!

[GIdget2004]

Cruz, Paul and Sanders voted No.

Rubio didn’t bother to show up.

[Aria]

Rubio didn’t show up for a vote like this??? WOW.

Not that I ever supported him...but pretty surprising. I guess he’s not all that serious.

[KEVLAR]

Anyone have a link to the house vote tally?

[i_robot73]

Oh, man. If Trump starts talking up ‘0-based budgeting’ (running govt with the same rules they stick to biz); the establishment and Liberal (I repeat myself) heads are gonna EXPLODE, Depends will be soiled....

[JoSixChip]

Cruz, Paul and Sanders voted No.

Glad to hear that, is almost surprises me.

[Theodore R.]

Maybe Jebbie is now advising Rubio, and Jebbie told him to skip it because all the commotion will die down any way.
