The spending bill should be stopped.

Why does it include a fucking football stadium for DC and a raise for Congress…for example.

The bill is shit and needs to be flushed.

This is just the start of the Trump chaos and incompetence.

 

[postman]

Fully agree with the first part, it should have been done months ago, but this is the way that the congress critters have been working to get their out of
control spending through, wait for the last day with a convoluted Bill that they have to pass.

The second part? You are wrong, spank the hell out of congress for pulling this kind of BS Bill.
They're tough, and if they're not, get the hell out of Dodge City. etc etc etc....

This is a continuing resolution, not one of the12 actual spending bills.

Congress passes 12 annual appropriation acts, ..., each year. These appropriation acts provide budget authority to obligate and expend funds from the U.S. Treasury for specific purposes.

Defense, which oversees funding for the military, the intelligence community, and other national defense related agencies;
Energy and Water Development, which oversees funding for the Department of Energy, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and other agencies;

Financial Services and General Government, which oversees funding for the Department of the Treasury, the Executive Office of the President, and other government functions;

Homeland Security, which oversees funding for the Department of Homeland Security;

Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies, which oversees funding for the Department of the Interior, the EPA, the U.S. Forest Service, and a number of independent agencies;

Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies, which oversees funding for the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Labor, and other agencies;

Legislative Branch, which oversees funding for the House of Representatives (the Senate Legislative Branch oversees funding for the U.S. Senate), the U.S. Capitol, the Library of Congress, and other legislative branch functions;

How do you think the USA got it's credit rating DOWNGRADED from AAA

Triple-A ratings
The U.S. had triple-A ratings from all three credit agencies (Fitch, Moody's, and S&P) until S&P downgraded the rating in 2011

August 1, 2023 Fitch downgraded USA long-term credit rating to AA+ from AAA.

On November 10, 2023, Moody's Investors Service lowered its outlook on the United States' credit rating from “stable” to “negative.”

As a direct result of the GOP’s brinksmanship with governments and open threats to default on US debt.

It has been the rule since 1787 that an Unconstitutional measure is NULL AND VOID

So how would a spending bill ever be unconstitutional?

 

[Contumacious]

So how would a spending bill ever be unconstitutional?

If the monies were not authorized by Article I, Section 8, Clause 18:

[The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.

As the credit rating bureaus explained. Real governments don't debate defaulting on their debts.

That's the Necessary and Proper Clause

Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 of the U.S. Constitution is known as the Necessary and Proper Clause. It grants Congress the power to create laws that are deemed necessary and proper to carry out the express powers granted by the Constitution

You're still floundering.

 

[Care4all]

My beef is with trotting out these broads to cry about a supposed rape from THIRTY FREAKING YEARS AGO in the first place.
That's BULL FEATHERS!!!!!!!!!
It's EVIL.
The no excuse, NONE, that makes doing that crap acceptable.

It wouldn't have happened if Trump hadn't defamed her...the suit was not about abuse, but about Trump claiming she made it all up, it was all a lie, he didn't know her, and she would not be someone he'd pick to sexually abuse blah blah blah....

 

[Mac1958]

It's entertaining to see a conman get conned. Musk saw trump coming from a mile away.

No doubt people like Bezos and Zuckerberg are kicking themselves for not thinking of this.

They are trying to get in now, though, contributing to the Inaugural Fund.

They'll be useful oligarchs.

Trump, the Man of Lawlessness....changes all the laws of the time....

Elon should not be holding this govt position without divesting....any person holding this position would have to go through FBI background checks and divest in their holdings of conflict.
--------------

Yes, Trump is going to get jealous of Elon running his presidency....not a strong or good look for Trump.... Trump appears weak....

But Elon gave trump $250+ MILLION dollars to win his election so trump owes him, BIG TIME......

Speaking as a leftist, one who craves and cares for both sexes, with occasional day-dreams of being the opposite sex without binary limitations, Kamala was a really great VP. Not that sex matters, but it appears my Democrats won't support a female for POTUS.

Having a debt ceiling is much better control than having no controls at all.

As I said, suspending it, is like giving congress an unlimited platinum credit card.

If they can raise it anytime they want, there is no controls.

Holy cow you are stupid.

 

[postman]

So...your point is????????
Or, are you trying to baffle us with bull shit?

First congress isn't doing their job with individual bills.

So they lump them all together into one big bill.
