Laura Ingraham Tears Into Trump And The GOP Over The $1.3 Trillion Spending Bill

Certain lawmakers are desperately trying to convince us that the $1.3 trillion spending bill is a good thing. It has SOME of what we want, right? It provides money to fight against the opioid crisis! And it, uh, defense spending increases!

Sure. It also hands over a wad of cash to Planned Parenthood, funds sanctuary cities and provides pennies (in the grand scheme of the project) for border security.

On top of that, no one has even had time to READ the freaking thing.

Seriously Republicans? You expect us to be OK with this? This is NOT what draining the swamp looks like. No, no– I don’t want to hear that this is the “best we can get.” You’re not doing your job. We put Republicans in power for a reason, and they’re acting like Democrats.

This is a REPUBLICAN CONGRESS doing this to us.

Like us, Laura Ingraham is OVER IT. This spending bill is a joke. “It’s a business as usual spend-o-rama.”

She’s absolutely right. THIS is what can crush us in the midterms. Republican lawmakers shouldn’t expect us to show up in November and vote for them. They’re not standing up for what we WANT. I understand that we have Democrats standing in the way, but it seems like Republicans aren’t even TRYING to put up a fight. They’re not even TRYING to pump the brakes on spending.

I really wish Trump would take Ingraham’s advice. Use this as an opportunity to challenge the GOP.

The swamp loves to spend OUR money

Ain’t that the truth.

Like I mentioned in another post, House Speaker Paul Ryan is rejecting the criticism over this bill. Part of his argument is, it’s not long-term. It doesn’t matter if we’re not getting everything we want, because it only lasts 6 months or so.

Take the good and close your eyes and swallow the bad. That’s pretty much his argument.

The American people are sick of “business as usual.”
