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.

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.
Show this thread -
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.

We need more of Justin Amash and less of Paul Ryan. More Mike Lee and less Mitch McConnell. More Rand Paul and less John Cornyn.
-
The fact that
@RandPaul was eliminated so early during the primary season is not very reassuring that the base shares your sentiments. -
They don't. Liberty is rarely a popular idea
-
I find myself giving Rand Paul much more credit and attention after the 2016 election and all that has come to light.

Thank you for explaining that point. However, no one takes the Constitution seriously anymore so why would we expect them to take
#Omnibus seriously? I expect them to but can hardly bet on it. -
Hence the problem we are experiencing in America... by not enforcing all laws; the public, politicians, everyone decides which laws they're willing to follow... How about enforcing ALL the laws; and making America great again?!

The only law that’s binding is the amount and that it’s authorized and at the discretion of the potus. It’s the difference between asking dad for $5 and signing a contract for a loan.

He can slow walk the money. He can just not forward the money. He can divert the money. Ad infinitum.

Well Obama never had a budget, just omnibus bills. But he was able to spend or not spend on what ever he saw fit. Explain please ?
-
Because this whole idea that Obama could spend it how he saw fit seems to stem from some chain mailer that was completely false regarding what the budget and omnibus allow. So it's probably all made up.
-
Possibly, but this letter sent to Congress by Trump and the latest EO he signed I would think allows him greater discretion on directing funds or slow walking appropriations.

Thank you for clearing up the lies. Many of us only want truth.
