    I keep seeing the same absurd claim going around on social media—that the omnibus is not so bad because it’s not a budget. This is totally backward. The omnibus is law; a budget is not. A bad budget is irresponsible but toothless. The omnibus (spending bill) does the real damage.

        Another bogus claim is that this letter (https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/text-letter-president-speaker-house-representatives-president-senate-21/ …) means president can repurpose approps as he likes. It means no such thing. Omnibus lets him designate some global health activity spending as emergency, so it won’t count toward spending cap. This letter does that.

        The omnibus is one of the worst—and most costly—pieces of legislation ever to become law. Period. That's why I voted no.

        The only way to restore limited government, economic freedom, and individual liberty is to stop falling for the lie.

        Partisan politics, misleading or emotional bill titles, and 4D chess theories are manifestations of the same lie—that the text of the Constitution, the text of legislation, and plain facts do not matter; what matters is what you want to believe. From this comes hypocrisy.

        And where hypocrisy thrives, virtue recedes. Without virtue, liberty dies.

        Take a stand today. Be honest with yourself and with others. Don't let the lie consume you. We live in a great country with great people. We can choose to live together in liberty or instead live apart in captivity.

        The Bill does not mandate the President to spend in specifics, like a Budget does. And the Omnibus IS NOT LAW!

        It is appropriations only, NOT a budget! President can decide to slow-walk monies for any given appropriation, i.e., PP😂also, in case you aren’t aware, there is a clause that gives him free rein during declared emergency situation. Remember what he signed on December 21😂

        So was the Omnibus bill of previous years—O did NOT pay attention to it, spent recklessly. Where is the repercussion from Congress? Give it up. You are not paying attention to nuances
