Business as Usual--The Washington Way

For some insufferable reason it appears the Republican leadership, believe the U.S. electorate are unaware of the contents of this recent Omnibus spending. Well, with mere routine research, I am no longer unaware. And I’ll highlight why. I am now fully aware the current bill contains an insurance bailout, for the short-comings within the construct of the unsustainable Obamacare bill as it was originally adopted. Is this not more structural deficit?

I am also fully aware the current bill contains taxpayer deficit spending to benefit illegal aliens, non-U.S. citizens/residents, who are mostly Mexican nationals. Common sense tells me this bill is essentially using U.S. taxpayer funds to pay foreign nationals from other nations. Oh, and by the way, are you, our elected GOP legislatures really up in arms over a provision in the Omnibus Spending bill that could allow more than ¼ million temporary guest workers into our country on top of what we already have? I suggest those identifying with the GOP read the contents of a bill prior to approving it.

Is this not lunacy? This is irresponsible fiscal policy. This recklessness is with Republicans in control of both the House and the Senate. It gets worse. The current Speaker of the House, "Boehner 2.0" (Paul Ryan) condemned the leading candidate for President who proposed a temporary halt to some Muslim immigrants until a failsafe vetting process can be put in place.

Is it really any wonder why the leading U.S. Presidential candidate would be distant from the Republican brand?   Is it any wonder why many American voters are distancing themselves from the Washington establishment? If I were to use this bill as a litmus test for defining the GOP and its leadership, I am uncertain I could adequately say what a republican point of view is?

I am fairly certain republicans’ control the House and Senate. Actually, I am certain. I also fully understand when constructing actual budgets through ‘reconciliation‘, the legislative branch only needs a simple majority in both the House and Senate.  The GOP has that simple majority, yet chooses not to put a budget for fiscal year 2016 on the desk of the President. By choosing Omnibus spending approach, the GOP essentially indebts our descendants, to finance lawful foreign nationals, refugees and illegal aliens; and presenting the bill to legitimate American residents. Is this not ludicrous?

As stated earlier, I am aware. Hopefully this post generates additional awareness to its readers. The Omnibus Spending bill is an albatross around those American residents who pay taxes. Additionally, the GOP, for the most part has continued business as usual--the Washington way.
