I think it’s because of the RINOs in the Senate.
Apparently they are very big supporters of the government’s defense contractors, the ones that President Eisenhower warned us about, what he called the “Military Industrial Complex”.
They are enormously wealthy and powerful, and in combination with the intel community, these are the folks that are actually running the government.
Whenever the House sends an appropriations bill, the RINOs automatically add the Ukraine Funding amendment to it and send it back to the House for reconciliation, which of course doesn’t happen because the GOP leadership in the House isn’t interested in paying for condos and yachts for corrupt Ukrainian friends of Joe Biden.
The end result is a standoff. The House wants to get the border under control, which the democrats won’t do because these are their new democrat voters.
This is where we are now.
Pathetic.
The RINOs in the Senate aren’t putting anything in. They’re *agreeing* to what the Dems are putting on it, but they’re not originating it.
