House Passes $1.15 Trillion Spending Bill: Here Is What's In It
Moments ago, the House of Representatives just passed the $1.15 trillion spending bill that includes a $680 billion package of tax-break extensions, in a 316 to 113 vote, and will now move to the Senate, where its passage is likewise assured and will be signed by the president over the next few days.
While there was clearly no risk of the Omnibus not passing, this particular portion of pork is relevant, because as Richard Breslow notes, "fiscal policy may begin to emerge from hibernation. The spending and tax bills Congress is in the process of passing today is something that probably couldn’t have happened last year. Ryan and Pelosi working together to pass a bill that has White House support gives rise to holiday optimism. The Federal government is actually expected to boost GDP growth next year."
How the market reacts to Congress becoming the driver of the market economy, instead of the Fed's monetary policy, is still unclear although it will likely not be an enthusiastic handoff.
For those wondering what are the main components of the spending bill, here is a quick summary.
From Goldman Sachs.
KEY POINTS:
1. A broad year-end spending and tax deal has been reached. Congressional negotiators finalized their year-end agreement on spending for FY2016 and a long-term extension of tax provisions early this morning. The bill -- particularly the tax components -- includes several changes of interest to the market, as described in more detail below. Details of those changes can be found here and here. We provided background on many of these issues in a US Daily last week.
2. We expect this legislation to become law. While each party opposes certain aspects of the deal, overall we expect there to be sufficient support to get majorities in both chambers. Although the White House has stated opposition to certain changes in the bill, such as the repeal of the oil export ban, they appear to have been careful not to have threatened a veto, and we do not view a presidential veto as a major risk to enactment at this point.
3. The bill would provide a small fiscal boost in 2016. As the bill is over 2000 pages long and formal budget estimates of the spending totals and tax provisions have not yet been released, we will wait to assess the fiscal impact. However, in general we expect the legislation to provide a boost to spending in 2016 that is in line with the increase in the spending caps enacted last month. On the tax side, we expect the legislation to be slightly stimulative in 2016, but will wait until formal estimates are released before making a more detailed assessment.
4. The repeal of oil export ban and extension of renewable incentives made it into the final version. The ban on US crude oil exports would be repealed, and the administration would be prohibited from restricting exports except in national emergencies and similar circumstances. Also, as part of the agreement on oil exports, the production tax credit (PTC) for wind power installations would be extended through 2019, with a phase-down from 2017 through 2019. The investment tax credit (ITC) for solar installations would be extended for three years, through 2019, at the current rate and would then be phased down through 2021, expiring in 2023 (note that the deadline has also been changed, so that it now applies to projects where construction has started by the expiration date, rather than being put into service by expiration). This represents a significant win for the renewable sector, as discussed in our recent report. Refiners, which are negatively affected by the oil export ban, would get limited consolation from a tax benefit for independent refiners. The bill would also extend the existing biodiesel credit for two years, through 2016, but it does not appear to shift it to a “producer” credit as the Senate had proposed.
5. Delay in ACA-related taxes slightly more generous than expected. Implementation of the “Cadillac tax” (40% excise tax on high-cost employer-sponsored health premiums) would be delayed from 2018 to 2020. The tax would also be made deductible as a business expense, easing the burden on employers who might eventually pay the tax. However, in light of widespread opposition to this tax (its delay had just as much Democratic support as Republican) we would expect further changes in years ahead. The existing 2.3% tax on medical device sales would be suspended for two years, so that it would not apply to sales in 2016 and 2017. The existing tax on health insurance premiums would be suspended for one year, in 2017. To generate a small amount of budget savings, the bill would limit the Medicaid payment for durable medical equipment to the Medicare rate starting 2019 and would make changes to payments for imaging. To provide relief for Puerto Rico, hospitals there would receive payments at 100% of the US rate, rather than a blend of 75% US and 25% PR. As expected, the bill also extends last year's requirement that CMS implement the "risk corridor" for plans in ACA exchanges on a budget-neutral basis, which will limit CMS's ability to make the full payments.
6. Real estate provisions largely as expected, but with relief for pending transactions. The restrictions on REIT conversions proposed last week by Ways and Means Chairman Brady were largely maintained in the final version. However, REIT transactions that were pending as of December 7, 2015 are allowed to proceed, provided there was already a formal ruling request with the IRS by that date. The final bill includes the relaxation of restrictions on foreign investment in US real estate under FIRPTA, which would allow foreign pension funds to more freely invest in US real estate assets, including but not limited to REITs.
7. Permanent R&D credit and small business expensing, bonus depreciation extended four years. The bill would permanently extend the R&D tax credit and “Section 179” expensing for small businesses, with thresholds in the latter indexed to inflation starting in 2016. 50% bonus depreciation would be extended four years, through 2019.
8. Stimulus-related personal tax incentives were made permanent. Enhanced refundable tax credits for low-income earners originally enacted in the 2009 stimulus legislation have been scheduled to expire in 2017, reverting back to less generous levels. The bill would make the enhanced versions of the child tax credit (CTC), earned income tax credit (EITC), and American opportunity tax credit (AOTC) permanent.
9. Miscellaneous items of potential interest. Income from gains on timber sales for C corporations (i.e., not REITs) would be taxed at 23.8% in 2016. Heating and air-conditioning would become eligible for small business expensing (Section 179), increasing the tax incentive to install new systems.

Wait until the MErefugees hear about earned income credits. They will ditch Sweden for USSA and pump kids out every 9 months.
Gotta have safe spaces for Sharia law and Arabic speaking sales reps in all the BMW and Mercedes dealerships. Is there an upper limit of earned income? Let's see, 5 wives pumping out 1.2 kids per year that's .....
No mention of cyber-non security bill?
Shhh! Your comment is both unpatriotic and anti-semitic. I think it might be rayciss too.
I don't think anyone left in CONgress, or in the USA for that matter, has any concept of how much money $1,500,000,000,000 is. To give an idea of what that represents; if a stack of 100 one dollar bills is an inch thick that means a stack of dollar bills equaling $1,500,000,000,000 would be over 236,742 MILES high - it would almost reach from the earth to the moon's surface!!! With amounts of money like that everyone that comes into contact with it loses touch with reality.
Another proof of the one party system....the club...and we are not in it. Oh well, we have WW3 to look forward too, and reinstitution of the draft, not to mention various false flags, treacheries, and mind numbing cable TV. The article forgot to mention funding for Planned Parenthood and Obamacare continues, as well as funding for crappy federal programs, wars, and rumors of wars. This was a holiday gift basket for the MIC, the banks, and powers that be. Mainstreet gets zip.
So now decent employer health insurance is considered a luxury and a tax will be applied. So, does this apply to con-gress and other top gov officials health care costs, which are the best on the planet?
Isn't it nice to watch these creatures work day and night robbing whats left from us. Then they congratulate each other with great balls and banquets.Big smiles!
Utterly disgusting.
Sure. First they did away with Pensions.
Now, they're going to do away with healthcare.
Pretty soon, they'll just do away with pay.
Pay! Pay! These fine patriotic corporations can't afford pay if they want to meet profit estimates and increase the dividend payout. Get real dude. All those things like pension, healthcare and pay are so 20th century. Get your head out of the clouds and accept your serfdom.
We're talking TRILLIONS now.
Anybody still in denial that we have already entered hyperinflation (maybe through a phase of deflation, but that shouldn't change the final outcome), please wake up now.
The thing that bothers me is that each president keeps doubling the debt. At that rate, unless something breaks, I'll live to see a 1 quadrillion debt. I don't want to live that long.
Thank god we only owe FRNs and not actual money... otherwise I'd be starting to worry.
LOL, like any of the asshats are actually going to stop supporting the debt ponzi when their livelyhood is dependent upon the status quo. it's full ahead unto the edge of the cliff. prepare yourselves, family and community as best as you can. this debt train is not stopping.
Right/Left, Red/Blue, heads/tails, just two sides of the same coin.
Republican/Democrat, the two wings of the same bird of prey.

How come CISA is forgotten?
It has awesome fall out.
paul ryan = boner jr.
Looking at that pic I'm torn between which one is the bigger cunt...
I guess this little experiment in American Exceptionalism is over. We've let the wolves into the hen house and there's no going back now. Next up: Congress votes to repeal the Second Amendment. Who'd stop them? The effing Supreme Court would go right along. This is so maddening. We can find all kinds of Constitutional rights, like gay marriage and penile enhancements hidden away but can't find one reference to the right to bear arms? My country has become a real shit hole.
Chill. A supermajority of individual states have to ratify an amendment for the 2nd to go away. And everybody knows that the instant they take that away, we're in a serious shooting civil war. It will only happen when they see no other alternative, and I think we have a ways to go before then. Just keep piling ammo.
Oh, and we've only let the foxes into the henhouse. The wolves prefer venison.
I was partially joking, but yeah...
Honest question: when was the last year (excluding 2000) when the budget, EXCLUDING social security, was actually in surplus? Do we have a law against having the budget in surplus or something? Because they keep avoiding that for some reason....
Here's my thoughts on that. I think nearly everyone with any understanding of how economies work, and that includes many in Congress, realize the dollar is over as a currency, and we might as well squeeze the last drop of life out of it. There's no point to a balanced budget anymore because the debt isn't payable.
Exactly like the guy that's going bankrupt will charge what's left on his credit card limit, except our Congress has no limit on the public's card we gave them.
Yeah, I get that. I guess I'm still stuck in the 80s, when being American meant you at least TRIED to pay back what you owed. Of course, the music and the movies were a lot better back then too. Maybe that's the problem. How can we be expected to live up to expectations when we go to the movie house and have to sit through the 18th version of Spider Man or have to ride home listening to Justin Bieber? Give me Stripes and Van Halen any day.
2001.
19 Trillion and climbing Bitchez.
It matters not.
I was telling a group of friends we had over recently that I am seriously thinking about voting for Hillary. They could not believe it! Why? they said. Because at this point it is all over with any way. I figure if I can do something to help it crash, sooner, rather than later, then why not? The sooner we get it over with, the better chance that my children (all teens right now) have for a future. Otherwise, we continue to circle the toilet bowl into slavery and a miserable totalitarianistic pathetic existence.
I told my wife I wasn't voting. I have a Poli Sci degree so she was astonished. I said "it matters not."
They've bullshat for so long and extended and pretended I just wait to awaken one day and see ZH all abuzz as the facade shits itself.
At that point I'll recheck some preps and go speak with the neighbors.
I quit voting a few years back, I realized it's just the illusion of choice.
The problem I see Reb is that 'they' hope we all disengage and leave the decision process solely to the TPTB. It will just mean more misery and extended torture for all captive under the system. I get it.... I truly do, when you say 'it matters not'. I have lost all faith in our 'republic'. Unfortunately, the next generation of voters are streaming across the border as we debate our plight. They will vote themselves all of the 'goodies' they can handle, and we will be made to care.
I am really disgusted and bummed out....
I understand. Goodies only go on for so long.
I'll prolly vote but all third party. I think the votes don't matter from rigging anyway. Diebold decides.
Diebold decides.
Yep, but in Georgia, we get a cool sticker that you can wear all day that says, 'I VOTED!' It might as well say, I LIKE GETTING F*CKED IN THE AZZ BY THE MAN.
We need to make this sticker.
I think voting at the state and local levels is more important than ever, now.
-Argenta
Are you suggesting the state and local candidates are somehow not stupid, dishonest and useless fucking politicians? Where the hell do you live?
Oklahoma, where there is some semblance of sanity remaining. We have our share of stupid but this ain't New York or California.
-Argenta
The Dems have always been maggots... but another total betrayal by the GOP. Not a big shock.
GO TRUMP!!!
Yeah, T-rump, Lord of Combover, will fix all ills in 'Mericuhhhhhh. Business and Wall Street corruption with ties to the Federal Government? A thing of the past!
Dems- Maggots
'Pubs - Faggots
Trump is not going to save you. He is one of them. Dont fall for the act.
Remember when Paul Ryan burst on the scene, he was supposedly so awesome because he drove a pickup truck. Media had a little wankfest over it.
Well, he's a sell out like the rest of these turds. Who would have thought?
I think it's time we all pull out of the payroll taxation scam. We volunteer in, there HAS to be a way to volunteer out. The party is goddamned over.
He now drives a pink VW beetle.
Pink smart car. There. Fixed it for you!
Covered in flowers to mask the stench.
Are you sure it isn't a Tesla, or mabye a Suburban?
Just thinking he'd get better deals from government owned car companies?
Good luck trying to get your company to not take withholdings from every paycheck.
Why do you think it was implemented in the first place?
There's got to be a way. There has to be a way to not enter into that contract with the IRS.
Great comprehensive information on how to withdraw your support for the festering sore we call government.
http://anticorruptionsociety.com/noncompliance/
ALL people in politics can be bought out. Here are some reasons:
1. Sociopath (Nuph said)
2. Blackmailed (EVERYBODY has a skeleton in the closet it seems)
3. The Kennedy Effect (Mr. Ryan has a family and the Deep State proved that they will kill that family and splatter YOU all over your pretty wife w/o hesitation)
Shit, they killed (accidented) Kennedy's son just for exploring a career in politics...that brat woulda carried all 50 states if he ran for pres. in 2000.
The guy with the pickup truck was Scott Brown from Mass. He's gone from the scene.
Just like the stock act that he crafted barring congress from insider trading. That act was gutted after he lost his re-election bid for senate in NH
Paul Ryan is a tool of his wife's money.
Quite a tactical play by the House Republicans. Having conceded everything the Democrats and the President asked for without even a fight, they can put their foot firmly down if the President comes back asking them to approve more spending if the economy tanks before the elections or at least refuse to raise the debt ceiling to accomodate more spending.
Just when I thought I hadn't seen Nancy PeLOUSEy in a while - and was praying that she'd be a'mouldering in her sarcophagus - her ugly mug has to pop-up again and ruin my day.
(Is that one of the Adam's Family she's shaking hands with?)
I had to reply, even if I'm just a parody of that awful witch.
So when is Senator Bob Corker going to be joining Martin Shkreli in a 20 year "pound me up the ass" vacation cottage with steel bars in front of it?
Nancy Pelosi...cerified Turd Biscuit. Ryan too for that matter. When does it end for these people? Pure lies days on end. I need to puke now.
I wanted to write "you get what you vote for" but... even thats not so sure anymore as elections are likely a fraud. I still have my doubts Ron Paul really lost last time.
End cronyism. End political correctness!!
Trump/Cruz 2016 !!
Thanks for the laugh!

Our broke ass government just got broker.
Ya can't make this shit up.
5. Delay in ACA-related taxes slightly more generous than expected.
OK, I get it. If you're a corporation, you don't pay taxes. If you're an individual or a family who doesn't want to engage in government-sponsored sick-care, you pay a non-compliance tax.
Yeah, that's really, really fair.
Torches and pitchforks should have been pulled out three years ago.
I reiterate: I will never buy health insurance and I will never pay a non-compliance tax. The ACA is fully unconstitutional and the Supreme Court is anything but "supreme." Roberts gets my vote for cunt of the year, every year.
look serf, you work for us. We pay for your pathetic family's health insurance so long as youre making us money. We dont pay your high american corp tax because our lawyers have figured out how to do a limited amount of business in a country with a lower corp tax rate. YOU have to pay taxes to pave the roads to get your ass to work and educate the next serf to replace you.
GOT IT?
Shut up sheeple and get back to work.
Get back to bartending that restaurant. If you can find a job doing that.
Bopper09, My uber app showed you were supposed to pick me up 5 minutes ago. Now drop me off at the Ritz, I have a meeting with some important people (hookers).
Somebody needs to inform congress, "You're Fired!"
Putin supports Trump. I support Trump. Fuck with me and you fuck with both of them. Bring it, fuckwads.
Merry Fucking Christmas, congress asshats.
The bill would make the enhanced versions of the child tax credit (CTC), earned income tax credit (EITC), and American opportunity tax credit (AOTC) permanent.
THERE YOU FUCKING GO. Try to make the least amount possible, shit out as many kids as you can, and get credits totaling more than you actually made.
FUCK THE EITC AND AOTC!!!!!!!!! Any real working person doesn't get them.
My neigbor, a very skilled auto -body man but not a shop owner, has 3 kids. Every year his tax 'refund' is over $10000. EITC.
So every spring, he does some kick ass mods and upgrades to his house. I send a check to the IRS and NCDOR and shake my head.
It's fucking welfare. He works hard and supports his family but he doesn't get that it's welfare. Free $$ from .gov. Not a refund.
What is worse than traitor Republicans is that the progressive Democrats eagerly seek the crime contained in the spending bill. Progressive criminals infesting the FEDGOV are at war with law abiding American citizens.
To have a crime, you must first have progressives.

No hope left. Attention turns to civil war.
Strip away all the wishful thinking and looking at it objectively...yes, you are correct.
How do they come up with the money without QE?

I truly fear for my kids' future, and I feel helpless to do anything about it. Only a second American revolution would give me hope.
It's all about which party controls looting.
Earned Income Child Credit. Who the F asks them to have kids and ask for this crap. Screw you parents
" As the bill is over 2000 pages long and formal budget estimates of the spending totals and tax provisions have not yet been released " ?
What was it again that they voted for?
5. Delay in ACA-related taxes slightly more generous than expected.
Let's take a look how this really works.
This is inforced via the income tax. It is rumored that the 16th Amendment allows an income tax, but the courts have said that the 16th did not change the taxing power of congress. ? This is AFTER the court had already ruled the income tax as unconstitutional before the 16th was passed. ?
Amendment XVIThe Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration.
Here is the trick. Income tax was a direct tax before the 16th, it was taken directly from the earner. It was unconstitutional because it was an unapportioned direct tax. NOW, it is collected from the source, and NOT directly from the man, making it an indirect tax. And the punch line is......you authorized it on your W4!!! Ha! Sucker!
Did anyone see JEB tell TRUMP he won't be president? Does anyone see Bush I in that? Ex president, CIA. Hidden meaning? Threat?
More key points.
1. Funding for Sancturary cities.
2. 1.6 BILLION to resettle ILLEGALS inside USA.
3. .....and...the NEW and IMPROVED CISA bill....yup, it's true.
And stupid fucking Republicans can't fucking figure out why the fuck everyone hates the GOP.
"In a late-night session of Congress, House Speaker Paul Ryan announced a new version of the “omnibus” bill, a massive piece of legislation that deals with much of the federal government’s funding. It now includes a version of CISA as well. Lumping CISA in with the omnibus bill further reduces any chance for debate over its surveillance-friendly provisions, or a White House veto. And the latest version actually chips away even further at the remaining personal information protections that privacy advocates had fought for in the version of the bill that passed the Senate.
“They took a bad bill, and they made it worse,” says Robyn Greene, policy counsel for the Open Technology Institute.
CISA had alarmed the privacy community by giving companies the ability to share cybersecurity information with federal agencies, including the NSA, “notwithstanding any other provision of law.” That means CISA’s information-sharing channel, ostensibly created for responding quickly to hacks and breaches, could also provide a loophole in privacy laws that enabled intelligence and law enforcement surveillance without a warrant.
The latest version of the bill appended to the omnibus legislation seems to exacerbate that problem. It creates the ability for the president to set up “portals” for agencies like the FBI and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, so that companies hand information directly to law enforcement and intelligence agencies instead of to the Department of Homeland Security. And it also changes when information shared for cybersecurity reasons can be used for law enforcement investigations. The earlier bill had only allowed that backchannel use of the data for law enforcement in cases of “imminent threats,” while the new bill requires just a “specific threat,” potentially allowing the search of the data for any specific terms regardless of timeliness.
Senator Ron Wyden also spoke out against the changes to the bill in a press statement, writing they’d worsened a bill he already opposed as a surveillance bill in the guise of cybersecurity protections. “Americans deserve policies that protect both their security and their liberty,” he wrote. “This bill fails on both counts.” Senator Richard Burr, who had introduced the earlier version of bill, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment."

Standard Disclaimer: What I honestly can't figure out is why not a single one of them has yet to be gunned down. And yet they can't seem to figure out that if a 2nd American revolution takes place, they and their families will be rounded up like the Romanov's, herded into a dank basement, and shot dead. There will be no place to hide.
I believe they DO understand that point...
They either hope that the Deep State will protect them (although I'm sure it won't), or they just figure that either way they're doomed and are doing whatever they want until the end comes.
I don't know. Narcissists and sociopaths often view themselves as infallible. They ignore consequences or just cannot comprehend the idea. They spend their entire lives pawning off responsibility onto others. They are almost never held accountable. Their most favorite pharse "he made me do it, it's not my fault" or like.
It's no wonder they think it will go on forever.
If Obozo bans 'assault weapons' via EO, how many of you will comply?
How about a downvote from everybody who will turn in their personal defensive weapons (especially those rusty hunks of junk from lake bottoms all over flyover land?
Not to worry. The big collapse is progressing as planned.
Nothing you or I can do to stop the insanity. keep stacking silver, lead, and food. Lots of popcorn for the big event that is now beyond a foregone conclusion. And dont expect me to participate in the system. Those that do and believe in it will be the first to expire.
Another TRILLION the US doesn't have, we are all fucked.
repost: good summary and yes Trump hates this bill..
well talking of crime & theft, nothing gets much bigger than this: another 2000 page bill nobody but K street knows what's in it: when you are talking trillions , billions are nothing, Putin meet the kings of crime:
The Omnibus spending bill in Congress is over 2,000 pages and spends another $1.1 trillion we don’t have. A handful of members of Congress and their staffs, the White House and insider lobbyists wrote it over the past six weeks, and outside this small circle, no one had seen it until Wednesday.
In other words, business-as-usual in Washington again. Merry Christmas, Donald Trump.
Americans are sick and tired of the way Washington operates. Outsiders like Trump, Cruz, Carson and Paul are polling at two-thirds of the Republican presidential primary voters. Regardless of how reliable you believe the polling is, there is no doubt: Republicans voters are looking to change the Washington status quo.
In 2014, Americans entrusted Republicans with Senate and House majorities to stop the Obama agenda, but Republicans refused to get in the driver’s seat of Congress. Instead, they offer this back-room, bloated bill to hike spending by another $50 Billion. It is strongly supported by Obama, Pelosi, and Reid – and strongly opposed by nearly every major segment of the Republican Party.
Look no further than the clear ISIS threat to infiltrate the ranks of Syrian ‘refugees’ with stealth terrorists. While Obama’s FBI and Department of Homeland Security admit they cannot screen these “refugees,” this Omnibus funds his plan to resettle thousands of them in America’s homeland even after the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino. Plus, remember his unconstitutional amnesty, currently hung up in court – it is fully funded by this bill.
Or how about the trafficking in baby body parts by Planned Parenthood? After a dozen shocking videos and nationwide outrage across the entire spectrum of America, they fully fund Planned Parenthood. I repeat – fully fund Planned Parenthood. In your face, social conservatives.
And airdropped into the Omnibus – even as a Member of Congress, I have no idea who inserted this into the 2,000 page text – is a provision to quadruple the number of low-skilled workers who can come here and steal the blue-collar jobs of American dads and moms. Now that fits exactly into what the Trump voting bloc believes: Washington has left them behind.
Don’t like the Obama Administration snooping into your email, phone records, Internet activities without a warrant? An entire bill – not debated in either the House or Senate – was added to expand the authority and ability for Washington to spy on law-abiding Americans. Tough luck, civil libertarians.
Those concerned about Obama’s pursuit of leftist global warming agenda to drive up our utility bills, harm our small businesses, and chase jobs away from America find little help in this budget. This president cares more about his standing on the Washington and Paris cocktail circuits than your ability to make a living and feed your family, and the Omnibus lets him keep right on going.
So whether you care about life and liberty, about national security and our borders, jobs and even stopping ObamaCare, Washington has a message for you: Donald Trump is right.
On issue after issue, this Omnibus spending bill proves Donald Trump’s point – Washington is not working for the American people, especially conservatives in the heart of the Republican Party. This country needs a strong leader who is not afraid of fighting against the status quo, business-as-usual, America-be-damned attitude in the Capitol.
The Washington Establishment wishes you a Merry Christmas, Donald Trump. May you have a blessed, successful New Year.

Ryan is a steaming pile of RINO shit.
The shills in D.C. need that huge deficite for the the fed. to monetize the next round of QE...
Exactly Yen... insightful point. The mechanics of the QE immoral money printing require more "collateral" in the market so that the Fed can buy / monetize MOAR US bonds, and the banks have plenty of "risk free' collateral to place as margins for their 30 to 1 leverage.
Oh yeh... they will need a stronger, more expensive military to keep foreign markets "open" to the US / LDN Banks.
It must be getting close to the end now...

i like the idea that the Chinese can buy more of our RE, at least we can keep that bubble going
They aren't even faking trying to control spending anymore.
I heard some Congressman on talk radio yesterday say that Congress didn't even write the bill. Wasn't clear who did. I think they hire think tanks to draft them like I believe the Apollo Group wrote ObamaCare. Then the Speaker trots it out and all the trained seal Congrsspeople approve it because like good trained seals, no dissent or argument is tolerated.
The funding to relocate Muslim refugees shows Republicans are on board with World Government. They are on board with basically air dropping these foreigners into our rural little towns so we all get used to them. That's the goal. We are going to like them and get along with them whether we like it or not.
Centralised government can't keep it's eye on the details. There are no details. It cannot do the "economic calculation". It all becomes a big slush fund.
"Air dropping refugees"...
Nothing to be glub about; they are the"original caucasians" out of the Bible and they are mostly "cut", so don't infect too fast when hit by Amerika's selfied, "hedonistic" life styles.
So America's caucasian ratio goes up relative to other ethnic "subhumans" that is so common in US slang; aka niggas, sandniggas, hispanococa jalapenos, redskinned wigwammers etc.
Houris on earth might even dissipate their urge like for a Lancelot of the lake; -- if you've read your knights of the round table-- to go mad about "God wills it".
If the West is scared that these refugees be enlightened by Allah's glory; akin a Galahad's vain searching of the Holy grail; to go for their koranic holy grail : Houris in heavenly kamikaze rage ; which gets twittered like it were the new way of wearing a chastity belt by the Raqa head hunters as advance publicity worthy of Madison Ave.; all they have to counter propose is : "Come to Christian US with your chastity belt all in place! And we'll make you dance naked in pagan love fest!"
Now that is called the best way to become a true american!
Why O why don't Trump or Cruz "get with it" ?
"We can out-vagina --down here in the US-- any hungry cunt in Heaven, --- 'cos "yes we can" is our motto !"
Hey I'm sure Elon Musk would approve. "I'll light up every vagina in the US with a solar fed energiser."
No moar chastity belts, no moar kalachlovers, no moar fear.
Love conquers the "glub" and the "cut". Imagine!
You guys have no imagination.
Errr... Too much medication, or not enough?
so medication is the only variable?
One nutted!
Apart from carpet bombing Syrac think of other ways of resolving this problem.
Maybe if we stopped American intervention?
Right, and after San Bernardino, no less.
I think it will take a suitcase nuke to go off in one of our cities before the stupid sheep rise up and finally take charge. Of course, the ongoing phone surveillance isn't to prevent the nuking of our cities; it's to prevent the sheep from rising up and re-establishing representative government.
must be y fed raised
Trump on Omnibus budget deal..GOP gotta kill this guy.
"If anyone needed more evidence of why the American people are suffering at the hands of their own government, look no further than the budget deal announced by Speaker Ryan. In order to avoid a government shutdown, a cowardly threat from an incompetent President, the elected Republicans in Congress threw in the towel and showed absolutely no budget discipline."
Merry Christmas Sheeple! If you thought 2015 was from the twilight zone you ain't seen nothing yet! The fun is just getting started. 2016 is gonna be an even wilder ride. The collapse is getting closer and the players in this farce are getting desperate. Stick a fork in it! It's over!
The tax free day moved from May to our graveyard because of deficate spending.
We have inherited the worst of the worst in terms of leadership in this country. As they try to change the name of the Redskins, we should change the named of our capitol to Wash. District of Cronyism. "The government and us are cut from the same cloth." Sam Giancana, former Chicago mob boss.
1. Give spoiled narcissists a credit card.
2. Tell them there is no credit limit.
What could possibly go wrong???
"The government and us are cut from the same cloth." Sam Giancana, former Chicago mob boss.
There is a difference. The cosa nostra mafia will speak of themselves as mobsters. The government mafia speak of themselves as public servants. At least, the former is not a fraud in that way.
Fuck it.. we are beyond screwed...may as well go out with a spending spree...
Same crap, different day, different country. The EU is no different. All bought and paid for or controlled whores. There isn't a drop of integrity, morals or ethics among the lot of them. If there was they would resign from their position after this vote.
When Boehner quits they just find some other bottom feeder that will gladly bend over and take it up the ass for them. This time its name just happens to be Ryan. Please, master may I have another should be the motto of all political parties. They serve nobodies needs but their own or their master. Either that or they'll eventually be eliminated.
Anyone that still votes for any politician is hopelessly lost or a willing part of everyone's persistent problems.
For those of you that buy the endless party lies try to start using even the slightest bit of critical thinking. For example, when the fraudulent "contracts with America" that the parties present before elections come up why don't you put an actual contract in front of them and demand that they sign it under penalty of fraud, perjury, prison time and having everything they own taken from them? They'll never do it. Because they're a bunch of lying, treasonous, avaricious, scumbag, sellouts.
And why is CISA not mentioned in yet another post on this fraud show of a bill? Read it and realize you just got totally screwed again by all of these traitors to their alleged oaths that voted for this bill. If you like your tyranny you can keep your tyranny.
It's funny how these "omnibus bills" are becoming moar and moar necessary to keep the country running.
Nobody seems to know what's in them, yet they must pass in the dead of night on an emergency basis - "we have to pass the bill before we know what's in it." Bills that must be over 2,000 unread pages are becoming the norm, not unlike the 5-year plans of from the Soviet and Chinese Communist Party.
How these people live with themselves is beyond me.
I double dog dare some outraged congressman to insert language into one of these bills that gives $1MM to every registered voter in their district. Sounds insane, but it would demonstrate how clearly bankrupt morally and fiscally the system really is.
The proper term should be "ominous bills".
Fucking lunatics.
We don't have representitives anymore. We have racketeers. The governemnt is one great big huge racket. With no one ever held accountable. Sort of like a mobster's dream come true. Tammany Hall never died. It has morphed into the federal government. P.S. When Hillary is inaugurated as our next president, expect Pelosi to burst back on the scene.
Bunch of sell out bastards. There's only maybe two democrats and three Republicans worth a shit down there. The rest are all Marxist vote panderers and total criminals, who don't give a shit about anything but their own bank accounts and Washington dinner flings. Cost cutting will happen about six months into the US civil insurrection, starting about when the welfare checks stop.
Thank you, Wisconsin.
Home of the Cuck.
Another spending bill that gives Obama everything he wants and more. This is why they hate Trump so much. I doubt if he would ever sign such a piece of crap legislation.
Trump needs to become a community organizer against the crooks in Congress. He needs to tear this bill apart and itemize for the American people the rape and pillage that the crooks in Congress have reaped on the taxpayers.
People need to be educated about what is happening and he is the only candidate that will do it. They need to know exactly why this bill is full of pork for elites and at the same time that rewards both illegals and government agencies that are destroying our economy. Our media will never cover this because it maintains the status quo....
Dear Federal Government,
You no longer have our consent to govern.
Fuck you very much,
the People
Senate passes government funding, tax break package
The other side of the scum bucket which is Congress.
...also known as Crony Bill 294.
Paul Ryan=Boehner without the tears, cigarettes and bourbon....
Ryan is worse because he pretends to be different. And he's a more affirmative "spinner." Boehner, after the dirty deed, would just gallop to the nearest liquor cabinet. He didn't have the same youthful energy to affirmatively spin.
This guy is a scumbag. He and Pelosi should be hanged and quartered.
With all that money flying around all over the place, I'm sure someone will be paying off their mortgage early in 2016. Also someone's dream vacation will come true. Or that nice, brand new sports car they always wanted will be bought. And no accountability. Nice work if you can get it.
John Williams of ShadowStats.com has said that when Bush II passed the Prescription Drug entitlement program for Seniors in 2004, there was no turning back, that hyperinflation in this country was thereupon inevitable. At that point, it was impossible to control our ever mounting debt. As you all know, when Bush II left office, the national debt was $10.5 TRILLION. Seven years later, it is now $19 or $19.5 TRILLION.
All I think we can hope from this Omnibus Spending Bill act of sedition and treachery by our own deceitful Representatives is that our debt problem will explode and we get the beginnings of hyperinflation before a conservative might be sworn in as President in January 2017 so that the Marxist World Government Thugs running everything for the last 15 years get most of the blame.
Good thing we got rid of Boner, who knows what sort of treachery would have played out if he was still speaker lol......
How cuuuute (smiley face) some of you still believe there is a difference between a democrat & republican
DOWN VOTING ANY MOTHERFUCKER that references Lib/Conservative blah blah blah...goddammit they are not the shot callers..they have a fucking script!
Part of this bill is weapons funding for the pesh merga [PKK] considered a terrorist organization by Cunnilingus Rice in 2007.
The PKK is proclaimed a terrorist organization only because the Turks would like to see them exterminated.
I was well beyond the point of IDGAF back in 2008 when GWB scared everyone into accepting "we must give the banks your money, or we will all die"
Everything after that was just comedy. Prepare yourself.
In less than three years, China built more than 12,000 miles of high-speed rails with about $300 billion. What can this $1+ trillion give us here?
You should have asked Ryan for the train rails! It's Christmas! Nobody was denied funding!
Maybe you could hire the Chinese to build 12,000 miles of high-speed rails in the USSA.
Summary:
They made health insurance more expensive and less beneficial.
They made expensive health insurance that is slightly beneficial more expensive.
They extended a bunch of tax ponzi schemes that only the 1% can take advantage of.
Lifted oil export ban, because you know exporting national oil at these record low prices is a good decision (lets dump at the bottom).
They agreed upon how much of our money they will give to themselves/waste on useless shit to feed their liberal guilt demons.
They agreed on getting American deeper into debt.
Two thousand pages of taxation and debt servitude without representation.
Got that right. Zero representation. And yet, we're the folks that are left with the bills.
Save us people of Wisconsin - give Paul Ryan some more time with his family starting in January 2017!
Because they will never select another one just like him? LOL

My finger is getting tired from dishing out so many upvotes.
Y'all are on fire today. Muster day draws closer. I can feel it.
Sad part is, this house of cards will collapse, and collapse utterly - but quite possibly, after Ozero is out of office. The electorate, being highly uneducated and uninformed, will naturally blame it on whoever is in office at the moment. So if Trump or Cruz is president and trying to turn the ship around, they will be blamed. The people who should be imprisoned include Ryan, Pelosi, Reid, Ozero, Bush (W), Boehner, and the whole list of characters who have shown no budget discipline for the last 3 decades, and especially the last 8 years. But, they will get off free.
This is why the Tea Party has been demonized by both Democrats and Republicans. Smaller government, less spending? The idea is almost criminalized.
The next person you see that "supports" any of these criminals (bumper stickers/goes to one of their rallies/whatever).....KICK THEM IN THE NUTS/CUNT
HARD
How many TEA PARTY affiliates signed off on this spending festival?
