The same people who talk about $3.5T (to be spent over a period of 10 years) like it’s some huge tsunami of irresponsible spending, casually and automatically renew a $780B defense budget every year and we’re not even supposed to ask questions.

I’m kind of in shock that lawmakers who participated in the attack on the Capitol on J6 are still making decisions for those of us who did not participate in the attack. Don't spend a penny until we get the truth for our J6 Political Prisoners.

It is really not just the money. Apparently the bill is just loaded with all kinds of exceptions and extra privileges based on “equity“. We are about to be subjected to the most entitled discriminatory government actions ever. Every aspect of our government will be ruled by CRT.

Right! Because we are spending too much on one thing means we should spend too much on other things! That's the responsible way to make a budget!

It is estimated that 20 million children in the US are food insecure But.... HOW ARE WE GOING TO PAY FOR IT? theguardian.com/world/2007/f…

How the US sent $12bn in cash to Iraq. And watched it vanish

Special flights brought in tonnes of banknotes which disappeared into the war zone.

We can ask Qs because we have a $780B defense budget & we ask them Qs too. You forget that $3.5T was $6.5T and Bernie had it at $10T and it was so easy to chop down (not a compromise) because no one still knows what is in it or actually disagree with its spending goals.
