Democrats Outnumber Republicans in Favor of Omnibus Spending Bill As It Passes House
The House has approved a more than $1 trillion spending bill to fund the government through September by a vote of 309 to 118.
But a breakdown of the vote shows more Democrats than Republicans voted for the bill — 178 Democrats voted “yea” and five “nay”. On the Republican side, 132 Republicans voted for it and 102 against it.

Debt Insanity: Does Anyone In Washington Even Care That We Are 20 Trillion Dollars In Debt?

Let me share a little illustration with you to give you an idea just how much money a trillion dollars is. If you started spending a million dollars every single day on the day that Jesus Christ was born and you kept on spending a million dollars every day since then, you still would not have spent a trillion dollars by now.

The borrower is the servant of the lender, and I would say that we are enslaving ourselves, but that is not exactly accurate because we don’t actually have any intention of ever paying any of this debt back. Instead, we plan to just keep going into more debt for years to come.

Sadly, it will be our children and our grandchildren that will have to deal with all of this debt if our nation lasts that long. Thomas Jefferson was entirely accurate when he described government debt as a way for one generation to steal money from another, and since the day that Barack Obama first entered the White House, the federal government has been stealing more than 100 million dollars an hour from our children and our grandchildren every single hour of every single day.

Just think about that for a moment.

If some thieves could somehow get away with stealing 100 million dollars from someone, that would make headlines all over the globe.

But this is what we are doing to future generations of Americans every single hour of the day.

I have said it before, and I will say it again. What we are doing to our children and our grandchildren is beyond criminal, and in a just society those that are responsible for getting us into so much debt would be going to prison.

On Tuesday, House Speaker Paul Ryan said “this is what winning looks like,” while Trump referred to the bill as “a clear win for the American people.

The measure is expected to be passed in the Senate later this week, preventing a looming government shutdown.

103 Republicans defect from Ryan, Trump as House passes $1.2 trillion spending bill

That opposition from Republicans reflects anger over how the bill was negotiated, which resulted in a final product that didn't include money for President Trump's border wall, and included funding for other Democratic priorities. Many Republicans groused that the bill was written as if Republicans weren't in charge of the House, Senate and White House.

Re: Democrats Outnumber Republicans in Favor of Omnibus Spending Bill As It Passes House
Freedom Caucus member Andy Biggs: Budget bill surrenders to demands of Democrats

For the first time in 10 years, Republicans are in control of the House, the Senate, and the White House. We should be optimistic about moving a conservative agenda forward, but we have failed to keep our promise to repeal Obamacare and have followed that up by surrendering to demands of Democrats by producing a budget bill that spends more than $1.1 trillion to fund the government.

That's more than $7 billion dollars a day.

While the federal government is nearly $20 trillion in debt, I am flabbergasted that the Republican Party would promote a bill that does nothing to address out-of-control spending or deficit reduction. Worse still are the policies included in the bill.

If you sign up with Countable, they will send you emails when your congressmen vote. I've only been subscribed for a couple of months, but I do like it so far. It seems like it has gotten harder and harder to find out how everyone votes. MSM is of course not doing a very good job of keeping the public informed.

Agreed. Most of Washington seems to be pleased as punch, almost as if this is actually the grand plan.

House Republicans Split On Spending Bill

King, however, said “I think they’ve shut the president up substantially…and almost all the Democrats vote for it. I voted no. I mean nobody even really tried to whip me on that. They knew I was a no. But this spending bill looks a lot like the last big one we did under John Boehner.”

He added, “It looked to me like the whip count was how do you keep how do you keep a majority of Republicans on board, when you know you get almost every Democrat. You know they started at the wrong place.”
