Trump, you MAGNIFICENT BASTARD, you just funded a take-down of the "Deep State" with almost half a billion dollars, and the very people being taken down are applauding the Bill they passed without reading it! Better still, construction of the Border Wall begins Monday ! ! ! ! !
Both Houses of Congress passed the 2018 Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2018. First and most importantly, this is a OMNIBUS BILL, NOT A BUDGET.
It’s not an official ‘Federal Budget.’ It’s an Omnibus bill…not a Budget. He outsmarted them again!!! Congress basically screwed themselves by not passing a Budget.
Per the Constitution, the President must adhere to a Budget set forth by Congress and direct the expenditures as provided therein.
This is another one of those big "Porkulus" Bills, like they gave Obama for 8 years. This is not a Budget.
An Omnibus Spending Bill may have some ‘instructions’ as to how the money will be spent…but Obama ignored them. He spent the money, or didn’t spend it, however he wanted to and Congress didn’t do a thing about it! Because they couldn’t.
I think our President observed how this happened, year after year. He is bound to realize that those ‘appropriations’ for different things in these Omnibus bill are merely ‘suggestions.’
So like Obama, Pres Trump can spend this money on whatever he wants to; or…not spend it.
Planned Parenthood?
What if our President decided to tell the Treasury Dept to ‘slow-walk’ that money to Planned Parenthood until the Senate gets off their ass and confirms his appointees?
Sanctuary Cities?
