One thing that RINOs and Dems always agree on is spending money we don't have.

[bray]

This bill is no different than Obama. Shut it down.

[central_va]

All of this money and no budgeting for a wall. At $15B it isn’t even a rounding error.

[DoodleDawg]

...the GOP could no longer lay claim to being the party of fiscal responsibility.

That died years ago.

[babble-on]

Trump supports it, what a RINO that guy is.

[from occupied ga]

Heard upChuck Schemer on radio this morning saying he likes the bill. If Schemer likes it you know it isn’t only a bad deal it’s a terrible, awful, horrible deal.

[DoodleDawg]

The swift backlash from fiscal hawks means that Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and his leadership team will need dozens of Democratic votes to help get the caps-and-funding deal through the lower chamber to avert a government shutdown set for midnight Thursday.

And the price of that will be a vote on whatever DACA plan comes out of the Senate.

Is it possible for a department NOT to spend allocated money? My answer is yes. In the military we always saved our money till the end of summer and then we spent like hell so we wouldn’t have our budget cut the next year.

Who decides that departments will not spend all their money? POTUS

I would trust Trump not to spend money frivolously. He hates that. He’s the only guy I would trust in that regard. So, to take stress off of our military I would be in favor of the House wittling these total amounts down a bit but passing it. Only because of Trump and only if he calls for it.

The GOP controls three branches of government yet are spending like drunken Eagles fans. The FedGov is destroying our grandkids Liberty.

Spit.

[central_va]

You’d think the RINOS would be smart enough to add the wall as a sweetener. The fact that they didn’t do that shows they are completely in bed with the globalist cabal.

[jpl]

Paul Rino is even worse than John Boehner. A truly disgusting and evil con artist.

[SharpRightTurn]

“some Republicans predicted a majority of the majority would back the package”

Meaning, as we all knew already, most of the Republicans are big government proponents just like their Dim buddies. They just want to spread out the largesse a little differently.

[BobL]

Hate to say it, but we’ll likely lose in a shutdown for this reason. The public simply LOVES government spending and could care less about our debt.

The Senate needs to go to 51 votes on this stuff and be done with it.

[grania]

Several callers to CSPAN pointed out that the HOR had passed all sections of the proposed budget by September. The worse-than-useless (evil?) Senate ignored all that, then comes up with an emergency deal that raises the debt and isn't connected to how money will actually be spent. I honestly don't know how much longer the US can survive, with traitors such as McCain and Flake being totally bought and paid for. They're psychologically very ill and willing to destroy the nation if that's what it takes to cause even greater challenges for President Trump.

Sure would be nice if McConnell had some backbone and had a vote that removed Senator McCain because he's too ill to function in a rational way.

JMHO

[goldstategop]

We have to spend money on infrastructure and defense. To the extent we waive spending caps to get those things done, its a fact of life.

Not all deficit spending is bad. Its a question of what kind of deficit spending we should put up with.

[Georgia Girl 2]

RINO’s love big government and spending too.

[taxcontrol]

Glad to see the Freedom Caucus standing up to the leadership and big government.

[Wolfie]

$30 Trillion in debt here we come. Winning!
