Strategery!
Bump!
Politics is the art of the possible. Merely having a majority in congress doesn’t guarantee getting all of your agenda through, any more than having a speedometer that goes to 160 means that the care can go that fast. The Democrats found this out about a decade ago.
So it could have been even worse. Pretty weak defense.
killing Obamacare repeal
Simply false - no Obamacare repeal bill was ever debated much less voted on.
What a bloody claptrap to defend the indefensible.
There was no deal with this abomination bill, much “less art of the deal”.

Played after every Trump rally speech, and not by accident.
So in other words the President is supposed to sign off on any piece of crap budget bill, no matter how high the resulting deficit, no matter how much pork is in it, just because it has defense money in it?

I know that the budget deal funds a lot of unnecessary things, but what forces; in this day and age of executive denial of the Constitution, the president from ordering the directors of the agencies to NOT spend all of the money appropriated to them. Like the State department not funding the foreign countries that continually work against the US.
Or for that matter funding any pork project attached to this bill.
I worked for a company under contract to NASA that routinely was asked to spend money that the agency had failed to have earmarked for funding at the end of every fiscal year. If they had not committed these funds, theoretically, it would have gone back to the Treasury and never spent.
There is certainly a lack of exigency in most of the pork in the Federal budget. I'm just saying.
Notice something about the major naysayers on this thread?
You’ve rounded up the usual suspects, FRiend!! ;-)
