Playin Tha Playas: Trump And The Omnibus Bill

For everyone out there who feels betrayed by President Trump for signing the Omnibus Spending Bill, let me put your minds at ease. This was a spending appropriations bill, NOT a budget. All of the items in the bill are suggestions by Congress that the president has discretion over spending money on... he's in no way obligated to fund any of those programs. He can invoke the Gramm, Rudman, Hollings Act of 1986 for emergency deficit control and cite National Security as a means for determining what funds are allocated to which programs. He's already declared a state of national emergency with an Executive Order- he can allocate as much for the wall as he sees fit- it's a national security issue.

Conversely, he can defund Planned Parenthood if he wants. Congress got played- they already allocated the money... they're out of it now. President Trump has autonomy as to where the money goes. The Democrats can sue and undoubtedly will, but no court in the country will rule against national security. There were a few riders attached to the bill that were pretty bad... particularly where internet surveillance was beefed up. However, compared to what was gained, the trade-off should turn out well for "the good guys." Remember, politics is a game of give and take and compromise, nobody gets all of what they want. President Trump said this was the last bill like this that would ever be signed... what he likely meant is that when the Democrats see how badly they were betrayed they'll be unlikely to present another.

So be of good cheer- all is not lost. This was just an appropriations bill that gives the Trump administration $1.3 Trillion to use as they see fit. And to the Democrats... Don't hate the playa- hate the game!

Appropriations sounds much better than a dyed in the wool budget. Thanks for the clarification.

Your photo made my day...So, originalll...Actually after, all the facts show that President Trump made crucial re-forms so if he made a mistake somewhere needs to be understood...?!🤔

I don't think he's made a mistake. The whole debt based fiat system can't go on forever. Now there are cryptos to transition to- in 2008 there was nothing. The bailout didn't go to help anyone- all the banking CEO's used it for huge bonuses for themselves. This time they will fail- the question is... are you prepared?

So you think he will crash the economy, but let the debts and mal investment liquidate like its supposed to do? I feel like if thats his plan he would be the up their with the top three presidents! Our debt system is crippling the people, if trump can fix that I would probably cry lol

I think that's the plan. This system is about to go down- the only thing propping it up is derivatives. Right now Deutsche Bank alone is holding $60 Trillion worth of total shit! Nobody could possibly bail that amount out and that's just one bank. The Italian nat. bank is up to their eyeballs in uncollateralized debt obligations too. Now China has launched the PetroYuan. It's backed by gold... if you were an oil producing nation which would you rather take for your oil, dollars backed by nothing or Yuan backed by gold. Even if they only get 20% of the market it will cripple the dollar. Interesting times ahead!

I definitely think this is a possibility, you think he just won't say what he's doing because people would hate him even more?

Aah, yes I get it...Thanks

Presidential party... no one wants to dance.

I feel like he is a traitor when it comes to the money sector, I mean government spending is bad for the people and their financial well being no matter what the money is spent on.

That's the only way he can collapse the crooked system- it will pull the mask off of how corrupt the Fed is. The President isn't in control of "the money sector" the Fed is.

Yeah true, man Its just why wont he say what he's doing! ugh hes leaving us in suspense lol. Ready to watch this play out though.
