$1.3 TRILLION dollar "Spending Bill": What I didn't know earlier.....
Donald Trump just signed this ludicrous "Spending Bill" . What I didn't know when I wrote my article earlier today:
It only "Funds" the American Government until September 2018.
............ $1.3 TRILLION Dollars for 6 Months of Government spending
OR to break that down for you, the US Government just signed a spending bill that will cost $7,142,857,143 PER DAY
"...ten thousand dollars for a hammer and thirty thousand for a toilet seat, ..." ... Just sayin'

"Omnibus Spending Bill- I spent hours yesterday researching the laws, the 1974 law and statutes and providing links. Do you know why the Omnibus is not going to get any notice? Here it is… It’s not an official ‘Federal Budget’. It’s an Omnibus bill…not a Budget…He(Trump) 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 bills…are merely ‘suggestions’.
.
So like Obama, brilliant President 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? What if our President decided to ‘slow-walk’ that money too…until those Sanctuary Cities assist ICE in rounding up criminal illegal aliens? Splodey heads? From the Dems/GOP to the Enemedia? Why yes, there would be a colorful display of splodey heads. But what could they do about it? …Hah.
.
Our brilliant President could just say…’Wait! Congress should’ve passed a Budget.’ Done finished…research was done…and it is so very humorous actually. Our VSG just said: Just give me money for the Military and the Wall…put anything else you want in it…and those goofballs did…lol In this case, as per above, he doesn’t have to spend a dime….because it is not a ‘budget’. And even if it was…researched….he could still spend as he pleased… Congress appropriates, but it’s up to the President to spend it…or not….as he pleases.
.
Oh, I did see $30 million for Military Tribunals and the Holamn Rule… Again, that is why Obama never had a Budget in his Presidency…Congress did continual Omibus’s and he just took the money."
