Well, the giant spending bill that will keep the government open until September has been assembled, and would it surprise you to learn that Republicans have crammed it full of “riders” to do things like allow wealthy donors to give more to campaigns, block the adoption of energy-efficient light bulbs, give farmers an exemption from clean water rules, prevent transferring prisoners from Guantanamo Bay to US prisons, and allow huge banks to use their customers’ money in risky investment practices?

Here’s What’s Tucked in the Spending Bill.

Yes, but that was for a bill that Obama crammed down our throats against the wishes of the GOP. THIS IS DIFFERENT, just like Romneycare.

OMG Citigroup thinks citizens are stupid and won’t notice bad legislation that harms them if it’s just tacked onto another bill!

(Hint: Citigroup are correct in this assumption.)

A bill that was assembled in secret and without public scrutiny for more than a few hours, and yet will appropriate the funds for the continued operation of the USG for most of the next year.

They figure that they might as well get something in return. So, that means underfunding the IRS so that they can’t do their job to collect taxes owed to the US government.

It means cutting funds for other items that Democrats (and most Americans) might actually favor. It means the GOP adding riders that attack programs near and dear to Democrats (and most Americans).

It means the GOP adding provisions to address issues that haven’t been issues in years (ACORN, light bulb efficiency?)

And they know that the President wont veto the bill because it’s more important to get the goverment funded than to fight over these isolated issues.

That’s totally different. That was Gruber talking about Obamacare. CRomnibus is totally different. It’s all done in secret and behind closed doors, but hey, we are infalliable and can be as hypocritical as imaginable.

11 Fourth Football of the Apocalypse  Dec 11, 2014 10:32:10am

Yes but the passage of Obamacare was marred by the fact that we lost the vote and was just like torture and the holocaust so shutup you about this very fair and balanced budget bill that prevents Obama from shutting down the government.

But Congress has authority over the city’s finances, so the bill bars the District from using any of its own money or federal funds to regulate the use of pot.

Thus leading to the generalized version: “Because I am something other than Christrian.” Of course, not really worth bringing to the attention to the War On Christmas Army, since these are some of the same people who think the free practice of religion clause only applies to Christian denominations.

What could possibly go wrong?

In a victory for the trucking industry, the bill blocks new Transportation Department regulations requiring truckers to get two nights of sleep before starting a new work week. The regulation slashed a typical trucker’s work week to 70 hours, down from 82 hours.

And to this, as a farmer, I say BULLSHIT:

CLEAN WATER ACT:

In a win for Republicans, the spending bill blocks the Environmental Protection Agency from applying the law to certain farm ponds and irrigation ditches — a move that GOP aides said would benefit farmers.

Meanwhile in the SF Bay Area, schools are closed and we’re hearing flash flood warnings every half hour or so.

IT’S JUST RAIN. Not even a lot of wind. (although I passed a squirrel on my way to work who looked really spooked. Probably never saw rain before.)

I remember storms like this every winter when I was younger. And students would trickle in through the morning because their power was out and the clocks had stopped. Amazing what a few years without a major storm can do — you’d think they were afraid they’d dissolve in water.

Vote on spending bill abruptly postponed

Uncertainty over the fate of the so-call cromnibus grew Thursday afternoon, when the House concluded debate on the bill and then, rather than voting, Speaker John Boehner called a recess. That strongly suggests Boehner is unsure if he has the votes needed to pass the bill, which would fund most of the government until September, but also relax rules on Wall Street and increase political contribution limits.
