From NY Times:
Congress Passes $1.8 Trillion Spending Measure
"The agreement also showed just how easily a fractious legislature can seem functional again when there is agreement to spend more money, adding at least $2 trillion in debt over the next 20 years, according to the Committee for a Responsible Budget, a nonpartisan group." |

This is exactly why Republicans are in open revolt. The lobbyists and politicians hate Trump because he will expose their dirty secrets. |

For many decades, certainly since LONG before I could tell between an R and a D, I've hated congressmen's mindless party line voting. It says our leaders are just puppets. Is discord necessarily a bad thing?
I suppose that when it snatches defeat from the jaws of victory, it is. |

When the chief architect is the Golden Boy of the Republican party, not a lot of outrage... but it was a goody bag of biblical proportions, even a 5 year extension of solar tax credits... |
