CROmnibus: The $1 Trillion Betrayal

Flush from an unprecedented nationwide GOP victory in this November’s elections, House and Senate GOP leadership determined that their essential first course of action should be to snatch defeat from its jaws. They have brought forth a spending bill for 2015 that gives President Obama almost everything he wants, while disenfranchising the very voters who delivered the GOP victory.

 The $1.014 trillion Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, (HR 83), has been dubbed “CROmnibus” as it is a combined continuing resolution (CR)[1] and Omnibus spending bill. It will provide full funding for 11 of the 12 annual appropriations bills to the end of FY 2015 (September 30th), and a short term continuing resolution to February 27 for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

    You are the one that keeps saying "GO VOTE" as if it means something. You want a working government? Then kill every swinging D**K in DC , burn the place to the ground, bulldoze the rubble into the low spots and start over. Ether that or get used to one party rule. Because that's what we have now, and nothing short of the extermination of everyone connected to the federal dictatorship in DC will change it.

    Drudge is saying not so fast, and the spending bill may have left the tracks.

      It didn't get enough votes?

Justin Amash (R-MI), Michele Bachmann (R-MN), Dave Brat (R-VA), Mo Brooks (R-AL), Paul Broun (R-GA), Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Tim Huelskamp (R-KS), Walter Jones (R-NC), Jim Jordan (R-OH), Steve King (R-IA), Raul Labrador (R-ID), Tom Massie (R-KY), Bill Posey (R-FL), Matt Salmon (R-AZ) and Steve Stockman (R-TX) held the line and voted no.

    I am very distressed to see that Bentivolio switched his vote to yes at the last moment. Why and Who got to him? Big Betrayal - I withdraw my comment from yesterday calling him one of the "good guys." He cannot be trusted either.

    What a mess - I didn't realize that Bentivolio is a lame duck as I thought he had won as a write-in. I was wrong. Boehner strong-armed him to change his vote. Crikey
