I laughed when S. 2648, an emergency spending bill (that spends the money next year), failed to pass the Senate. It would have provided... * $2.731 billion for the children immigrant crisis * $615 million for wildfire management * $225 million for Israels missile defense These items have NOTHING to do with each other. Why were they clustered into one bill? Because the Senate wanted to rush the bill through before the August recess. As a result... NO provision passed! But... Later this year, they will ALL be funded in a thousand-page, trillion-dollar omnibus bill that will fund dozens of different programs, and youll allow NO time for meaningful debate. Still, you claim youre part of a representative government. And thats not funny. To regain some legitimacy, pass the One Subject at a Time Act (sponsored by Rep. Marino and Senator Paul). It... * Requires each subject to be considered separately * WONT allow you to cluster unpopular and unnecessary bills with urgent or must-pass bills Start representing me!
