1,924 pages, and growing…thanks for the change, progressives…
Shut down this government! If your spouse was spending like this, you'd take away their credit cards. Let's do the same to these crooks. This has to end. Now!
@aaronreale You cannot shut down the government during war.
Thank you McCain, for fighting these bills. If only you had these kinds of balls during the campaign.
@bullonay It's not just progressives,there are alot of conservatives with pork in their too.
Come on now,did you guys really expect our government to change the way they have been doing business for decades??? We have allowed this to go on forever,and now we expect them to just stop cold turkey???
Earmarks are 0.5% of Federal Spending. Let's abolish DHS,NSA,CIA,DEA,ATF,Dept. of Education,Dept. of Energy,Dept. of Agriculture,end the 1 Trillion Dollar a year Military Occupational Empire, end ALL Foreign aid, and more importantly End The Fed. I would rather Know about The Bridge to Nowhere than have that money go to the Executive Branch and be doled out (To his Central Bankster Crony Capitalists) however The President sees fit.
@mcap52 – 'in their(sic) too'? Silly little boy…
@M14Mann Even if we eliminated all that, we would still almost be running at a deficit because of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
GIve it a rest already. Obamacare is here to stay. Live with it.
@southport97 Not necessarily. If enough people demand a change and do something about it, Obamacare won't have to stay.
@mcap52 Obviously, the government won't change, because it's up to "we the people." Change is gradual, but can be good if it goes in the right direction.
@mcap52 Both parties have corrupt people. What else is new? But the Heritage Foundation actually suggests going a step further and returning to our roots that we had with the Founding Fathers.
Obama was a traitor, is a traitor and is going to Gitmo! Can’t wait! 12/27/2Q19 #AmericaFirst #WWG1WGA
