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.

Give me some links so I can do my own research. I 'know' what I know.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_budget_process … probably a good place to start, as there’s a ton of links to official websites. https://www.usa.gov/budget more basic

Omnibus Bill is not a Federal Budget.

This one was for the federal budget.

Omnibus Bill Is Not THE Federal Budget. OB appropriation ARE 'suggestions' in spending. Within an OB, funds can be spent as President wishes. In Federal Budget, President must follow. Obama NEVER signed Federal Budget & spent OB funds as he wished.https://thelawdictionary.org/omnibus-bill/

You realize that link doesn’t actually support your claim, right? The legal definition of an omnibus bill isn’t being questioned, and that link in no way touched on whether this one was for the budget. As for it being only suggestions, do you not know how the government works?
-
Yes. I know that is why I am stating... wait and see. than come back and ask or make your statement.
