President Trump on Friday signed an $854 billion spending package that will avert a shutdown by keeping the federal government open into the new fiscal year, which begins Monday.
The measure fully funds most parts of the federal government through fiscal 2019, pushing off a deadline for a partial shutdown - and showdown over funding for Trump’s proposed border wall - until early December.
So Trump did the politically correct thing and signed this bill and not shut the government down. How do physical hawks feel about this or is it just about protecting republican candidates during the midterms?
Six Republican senators - Jeff Flake (Ariz.), Mike Lee (Utah), Rand Paul (Ky.), David Perdue (Ga.), Ben Sasse (Neb.) and Pat Toomey (Pa.) - joined Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in voting against the legislation, which also includes a short-term stopgap bill to fund the rest of the government through Dec. 7 and prevent a shutdown that would start Oct. 1.
Hey, anyone have a schedule of the Tea Party rallies happening in GA? I’m sure there are many with all this excessive spending occurring, but I can’t seem to find them on the internet for some reason…
Cruz is a political opportunist. When he ran in 2012, the Tea Party was the big thing so he pandered to them and ran as a conservatives. Now that the GOP is the party of Trump and deficits don’t matter, Cruz is pandering to Trump. He has no principles.
