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.
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
eyes getting tired but really someone should read this beast. Page 392 sec 9007: no $ shall be spent “for the permanent stationing of US forces in Afghanistan” Wonder what they meant by permanent? Some might argue that after 16 years we approaching the definition of permanent.
Page 430 of “crumni-bus:” Good news. The government is going to “earn” $350 million by selling oil from Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Bad news is the $ won’t go to reduce the $21 trillion debt. The $ will be instead be spent elsewhere by the Federal government.
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
Page 485: No $ used by the IRS to target citizens for exercising 1st amendment rights. Do you think Lois Lerner knew about this part of the law before she targeted Tea Party groups?pic.twitter.com/t41kZ63oD8
Ordered some pizza to help me get through. Still going...pic.twitter.com/FKDO3DkRHe
page 550: $9 billion for Govt Services Admin that oversees federal properties Fed government spends $1.7 billion a year to maintain 770,000 empty buildings while continuing to buy new properties.
General Services Administration database of properties for sale is not available to public, Congress or other federal agencies. Govt Acctbility Office says govt continues to hold more property than it needs. No matter. . .this year the big spenders still give GSA big $
Page 580: Post Office gets $58 million but only if it promises not to close down small, underutilized, money-losing post offices.
Page 587: No $ for the President to request FBI background report on any individual. If we had amendments, this would be a good place to add no $ for partisan hacks in the Intel community to unmask any American without a judicial warrant.
Page 594 sec 626: No $ to require disclosure of content of an electronic communication. Good amendment here. It would be to also protect forced disclosure of metadata, ie phone #’s and identities of the phone callers.
I shared 600 pages tonight. I’m done tweeting them for the evening. If they insist on voting, I will vote no because it spends to much and there’s just too little time to read the bill and let everyone know what’s actually in it. Thanks for sticking with me.
Republicans were out back in office to stop illegals , drugs and a wall. Enough e these invasions we r losing out country
Thank you. I am beyond disgusted. I am ashamed that the quality of Congress is so disgustingly low, self centered, dishonest, self serving and stupid.
SAD
You are probably the only one who is actually reading this so called budget
Lordy!
He's orders of magnitude smarter than the resistance & Rand you knew all along what was going on - good job
