Congress Passed A Budget - Yikes

Congress has passed a budget.  And it is a doozy!

Given the Republican quotes and complaints about the Democrats and the national debt, you might think the Republican budget would lower the debt.

HA HAHAHA hahahahaha!!!!

Hummm.. no.



Well, maybe it is a smart plan? Nope - they defunded one group (ACORN) who has been defunct since 2009 - when the first budget cut funding for this group that registered low income people. Then cut and aste (and don't read) unless they insert something new.  Idiots.  Remember when Trump was going to force "Zero Based Budgeting" to undo this.  Come on - you remember...(link).

Maybe they fixed the DACA mess? Nope. Still broken. On hold based on court rulings. VSG Trump said this was the Democrats fault - even though he threw out the DACA rules.


But at least everyone read it and thinks the entire budget makes sense, right?  Nope. The 2,232 page bill (link) was release on Wednesday night, and approved less than 24 hours later.  Assume one did not sleep, you would have to read 1.5 pages a minute - AND UNDERSTAND it. 

I am going to reproduce 2 pages at random below. Try to read these pages, understand what they are saying and be sure that all 11 appropriation numbers are CORRECT, in less than 1 minute.  Hell, I'll give you 3minutes.

Once you finish, remember that this is for only $46 Million dollars (this is less than 0.0035% of the budget).  Do you think they investigated all this before passing it?
