    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.

        Sir, can the President build the wall with money allocated to national defense? Been hearing a lot about that.

        He cannot legally expend money on the wall that has not been appropriated for that purpose.

        So...ANY past President who did not spend EXACTLY the amount in the Omnibus that was specified BROKE the law. It's illegal right? How many went to jail or were impeached for this? Just curious.

        The only thing meaningful about the concurrent resolution is the opportunity to do budget reconciliation and pass spending cuts or welfare reform with 51 votes, but they avoided that so there's be no ammo left in the pipe.

        Which one includes taxes to properly fund the constant overspending? Neither, in this generation of Congress critters. Which actually pays down the debt? Again, neither, there is no political will to discuss so.

        Unfortunately, @realDonaldTrump owns this budget now. The @SenateGOP, @HouseGOP and, @TheDemocrats should be ashamed of themselves. The military and he border are in the Constitution, @PPFA is not,nor are the pork projects on both sides. Trump should have #VetoTheOmnibus #Veto

        Discretionary money is discretionary. Defining the wall as a matter of National Defense could be the key to using a portion of the defense budget to build it. This declaration is solely in the authority of the executive branch.
