There should be a law that Congress must know what’s in a bill before they vote!

[Lisa558]

This is ridiculous. The Democrats, along with RHINOS, pass the monstrosity of an Omnibus bill without even knowing what was in it.

There should be a summary page listing ALL the spending, and Congresspeople should know it so they can debate - and voters should be able to see which elected officials are spending money to help other countries while refusing to help our own.

Why, for example, are hundreds of millions allocated to foreign countries to help with their border security - and not a penny for our OWN to stop the invasion at our Southern border?

I agree. They should have to read a bill before voting on it. That means they would vote on nothing, and that would be a good thing.

yes, and some folks would vote a donkey into office repetitively

But not for border SECURITY!! That is money allocated to providing shelter and food for the illegals.

The vast majority of that is for the military and for providing support for the illegals.

And 300 more border agents?! Are you kidding me? The are hiring 86,000 more IRS agents to track down and harass small business owners while hiring only 300 more border agents?

They are overwhelmed after Biden has invited all these low-life illegals in, and will be more so after he lifts Title 42. We need at least 10,000 more border agents, and more likely 20,000.
