Can someone link the post from 2 days ago that Some Liberal tard (not one of resident "Enlightened") posted about Republicans not caring?!
I said exactly this, without knowing anything about the bill. If Democrats proposed it, it's full of pork

Almost every news organization has vets worked up saying republicans hate vets because they're leaving this part out.

Good little boy. Attack the messenger not the message. Anything productive to add regarding the point he’s making on pork?

quote:It IS the bill. There is no "extra" $400 billion. The argument from Toomey is that it is categorized as discretionary spending instead of mandatory spending.
Does anyone know exactly which section in the bill has the extra $400bil?
To his credit, Toomey was a stick in the mud about this with the first vote. It doesn't explain why the 30 other Senators flipped their votes.

Can someone please show me in the bill where it states this?

No its not. Make bills stand alone and simplified.
Adding pork to legislation is one reason we are so fricked.

We should strive to be more like African nations.

Flat tax: everyone pays 18% (or whatever number it should be)
See, all of that fits on one page.

If that were to happen they’d go with a font size of 9 to fit in all the BS.

By the time people who have their life’s savings tied up in the Private Economy realize the Left has crashed it on purpose, it will be too late to salvage the System. Only God knows what happens then. It won’t be Dems getting a pass for good intentions. Likely a ‘French Revolution’ scenario.

Trump was the one calling him lying Ted with no context. Where was your defense at that time?
