Thanks for posting this, Drew. It’s something that every taxpayer should see. As a debtor nation, we can afford none of those things. I guess Trump didn’t read the bill as carefully as Rand Paul did. (Yeah, give that last sentence a /s.).

Thanks but the gratitude goes to Senator Paul. Everyone should read his tweets on this, with either a stiff drink and/or one's heart pressure medication.

What an effing disgrace. Paul Ryan is such a waste of air.

[Drew68]

yes but he graciously gets 1.6 billion for the wall- only instead of concrete or metal, He’ll have to resort to paper mache to make it the whole length of the border

The metal and concrete will be funded for walls in Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, and Tunisia.

Here's the big 4, from that list:

• $1.371bn for Contributions to International Organizations
• $961 million to destroy our chemical weapons. Who was it, exactly, who convinced our government to pay billions to develop weapons we now find deplorable?
• $2.579m for Commission on Security and Co-operation in Europe
• $2.696bn for International Disaster Assistance

I got no problem with disaster assistance. The rest I'm not sure about.

What a joke!

I got no problem with disaster assistance. The rest I'm not sure about.

Curious how Congress defines "disasters" worthy of $2.7 billion in assistance.

I have a feeling it is a very inclusive definition, covering much more than earthquakes and hurricanes.

I could use a part of that ca$h.
Just a few million.

I have a feeling it is a very inclusive definition

We had a huge Winter nor'easter the day before yesterday. Several states were moistened. Now there's mud and it's getting tracked on the carpet. Who's going to pay for that?

I believe “hurting Trump’s agenda” was the primary reason Republicans supported and PROMOTED this Bill in Congress. This is the Deep State at work trying to get rid of President Trump. McConnell and Ryan are TRAITORS to the American People. This IS A CIVIL WAR!!!!!!

[Tzimisce]

“Bill” is a great way to describe this....

[conservative98]

No wall, but I get my tunnel?

[The_Media_never_lie]

Let’s face it, we have been betrayed by Trump. The deep state must have told him “we will let you remain President, but you must play ball with us”. They must have a photo of Trump with a goat.

[Drew68]

I could use a part of that ca$h. Just a few million.

Just claim you're a female law enforcement officer in Afghanistan. That's worth a cool $10 million! College student in Lebanon? There's $12 million.

The money's there.

100% of the FReep-a-thon goal has been reached. Thank you for supporting the forum folks.

“$10m for disadvantaged Egyptian Students”

Just in Egypt or for such students anywhere? I mean let’s make sure we are not leaving any Egyptian students behind.

And there is a hole in the raft.

Maybe he should get a 3-D printer.
