Nobody has. They’re counting on the stupidity of the American voter. You have to pass it to know what’s in it.

Like with a cloth.

This isn’t how it’s done and the only reason this is being ramrodded is because it has corrupt spending in it. When ever you hear the name these turd politicians call it, know…it’s to sheoplize you and tell you what you want to hear but believe me…it’s filled with crap, fat and spending that is not what the title of the bill says it is…PERIOD!

Have you read it?

Have the people who voted for it?

Dunno. If they came here claiming to know what’s in it I would ask them.

I do know some progressive groups are bitching about the bill as well, which obviously indicates that there are clearly provisions hostile to progressives in the bill.

You can call it a win win or a lose lose for everyone then.

In any event, FY 2023 is the responsibility of the 117th Congress, not the 118th Congress. Pass this ■■■■ now so that the 118th Congress can concentrate on FY 2024 and FY 2025, which are their responsibilities, not FY 2023, which is the responsibility of the current Congress.

No. They are petulant children demanding more toys. Denying them their every demand is not “hostile”. They never consider the consequences.

Then how do you know?

I listen to Fox news most days driving home. A lot of their guests are complaining about the ukraine money. I heard abut the voting stuff on…NPR maybe? I forget.

[Safiel]

I would note that the text has been altered somewhat by amendments approved during the current floor consideration, but it is relatively close to the final product.

The vote on final passage is about to begin in the Senate.

Omnibus passes the Senate 68 to 29.

Voting breakdown when it is available.

@Safiel

I believe this bill will pass both Houses on time and be signed into law before the Friday deadline.

I agree with you considering the Bill is designed to plunder the People’s federal Treasury and fatten the fortunes of some at the expense of the people.

When Federal Reserve Notes were made a legal tender in violation of our Constitution, and a direct un-apportioned tax was imposed upon the people without their consent, America’s free enterprise, free market system was subjugated, and the tools of oppression were made available to some very immoral and nefarious people.
