It means treating each appropriation separately, voting on each separately. Jamming them into one “take it or leave it” bill is unnecessary and only serves to hand power to statists and Democrats. Ryan promised to stop this practice of one big omnibus, but he has broken that promise every year he has been Speaker. The only elected reps standing up for We The People are Rand Paul and a few house R’s.

Per that explanation, I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Rand is good on some issues. I appreciate his stance on them.

Lets face it, there are some lost causes. Recognizing that, raising them at a critical moment in a process, doesn’t really help much.

It serves to make you look like a kook, and it can actually harm your side.

Do I want to see fiscal conservancy? Yes I do. That being said, I think there’s only so much you can do.

I am hopeful that Trump has something in mind that we will be very happy about later on.

I’ve spent at least 50 years supporting fiscal conservancy. I’m not about to toss in the towel now. I’m just willing to let Trump have some room to maneuver.

If he sells us out, he does. There’s nobody else on the horizon that I know of that has the leadership skills and the close proximity to our views.

Either Trump satisfies us in this area or he doesn’t. I won’t be very happy about it if he doesn’t. I do have to face the fact that nobody else is going to either.
