I agree. A lot of logical fallacies overlap a lot.

This whole thread amuses me because it's a hilarious case of misplaced blame

For fricksake folks. This Congress is actually in danger of having people lose seats because the public thinks they're too frugal. Wrap your brains around that shite for a second.

You don't have exploding budgets because of the people in Washington DC. You have exploding budgets because of the people in your bathroom mirrors

Congress Critters are amazingly pliable. If spending like drunken sailors got you voted out of office regularly Congress would be cutting shite left and right.

To me this whole discussion is sort of like when I hear people bitching about nasty campaigns. I'm like they don't do nasty campaigns just because they feel like being nasty. They do nasty campaigns because they work

And they spend with Reckless abandon because it works

These frickers have something like a 90% re-election rate. They aint scared.

Its a big FU to Trump. Typical swamp frickers.

I hope he vetoes it, but the swamp is still strong with swamp. Patience patience

Any senator could force a government shutdown by refusing to grant the unanimous consent needed for quick action, and GOP Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky left open the possibility he may do so.

Rand Paul is reading the bill currently, his thoughts so far...

quote:

Page 447: a little over $30 billion for Dept of Energy

Wonder if anyone would notice if we had no Dept of Energy

Put oversight of nuclear waste in DOD and let supply & demand be our Energy policy


quote:

Page 376 of terrible, rotten, no-good budget busting bill:

I found it! I found it! Border security, what President Trump wanted!

no . . .wait a minute section says Defense can spend what funds it determines to enhance the border security of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, and Tunisia


quote:

and I’m STILL reading. This bill is no @bradthor thriller.

Page 365: Overseas contingency operations. aka military slush fund that circumvents budget caps.

All told, we’ve spent over a trillion dollars in this budget busting category.


quote:

hmm . . . that would mean we shouldn’t be spending $ in undeclared wars in Yemen, Libya, Niger, Somalia, Afghanistan

wonder why the party that talks about the rule of law, doesn’t obey the rule of law?


quote:

o $12m for Scholarships for Lebanon
o $20m for Middle East Partnership Initiative Scholarship Program
o $12m in military funding for Vietnam
o $3.5m in nutrition assistance to Laos
o $15m in Developmental assistance to China
o $10m for Women LEOs in Afghanistan


quote:

o $1m for the World Meteorological Organization
o $218m for Promoting Democracy Development in Europe (yep..the birthplace of democracy needs promoting)
o $25m for International Religious Freedom
o $10m for disadvantaged Egyptian Students


quote:

o $1.371bn for Contributions to International Organizations
o $51m to promote International Family Planning and Reproductive Health
o $7m promoting International Conservation
o $10m for UN Environmental Programs


There's more and he's still reading it.
