The Top 10 Reasons Why The McConnell-Schumer Spending Bill Stinks

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


  1. The bill would blatantly disregard The Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA) that requires Congress to adhere to budget caps – This bill goes above and beyond adding nearly $400 billion in additional spending

  2. Because the bill would bust spending caps (again), the national debt would swell by $1.5 trillion to over the next decade

  3. It would suspend the debt limit for one-year without spending cuts

  4. The bill is another “kick the can down the road” short-term budget deal that contains long-term spending implications that endangers taxpayers and loses the trust of hard working Americans

  5. Military spending would exceed the amount the president requested by $160 billion

  6. The bill spends billions more on defense at a time when there are documented accounts of missing money and waste at the Pentagon

  7. The bill threatens the chances of reforming agriculture policy in the upcoming Farm Bill

  8. The bill contains corporate welfare including tax giveaways to special interests like Puerto Rican rum distillers, “green energy,” motorsports, and Hollywood productions

  9. The bill would create yet another committee to deal with Congress’ fiscal dysfunction

  10. The deal would ultimately mean that Republicans don’t have control of the House and fiscal conservatives are nearly extinct

      HEALTHCARE REFORM. -
      Sen. Bernie Sanders held an 90 minute live stream town-hall meeting on Jan. 23, 2018 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m regarding his single-payer healthcare legislation called “Medicare For All Act”; visit Bernie’s BILL link for contents if you wish to be well-informed:

      https://www.sanders.senate.gov/download/medicare-for-all-act?id=6CA2351C-6EAE-4A11-BBE4-CE07984813C8&download=1&inline=file

      I noticed that Bernie Sanders healthcare Bill ?“H.R.676”? and/or “MEDICARE FOR ALL ACT” has some fine print – “it contains exclusions and limitations”! This Bill(s) is trickery. My healthcare idea is unlimited / unrestricted full body coverage!

      The U.S. needs a “federal government direct payer” superior “ONE” FULL COVERAGE NATIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.
      …and have a 3% federal sales tax to help pay for this healthcare system.
      …we do not want a mediocre Medicare single-payer healthcare.

      …and what does PART A,B,D BENEFITS have to do with with the “MEDICARE FOR ALL ACT” BILL. We should be wiping out all government healthcare deals; prohibit healthcare insurance selling; and have a new superior federal “ONE” FULL COVERAGE NATIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM for all “equality”.

      “Medicare” has always been mediocre healthcare with “exclusions & limitations” and charging old people with “premiums & deductibles”. The government should not be selling mediocre Medicare to old people. It’s a rip off! (And stepping over the line into the private sector and selling healthcare insurance for money.)

      The “Medicare For All Act” BILL has a lot of questionable items in it. It seems that Bernie Sanders wants to add amendments to the existing “Medicare” instead of abolishing all government healthcare deals and put in its place “create” a new superior federal “ONE” FULL COVERAGE NATIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM; a simplified healthcare system.

      …We should be abolishing all government healthcare deals (Veterans healthcare, Medicaid, Medicare, Chip, Obamacare, government employee healthcare deals, government retirement healthcare deals, etc., etc.); and prohibit the sale of healthcare insurance in the U.S.; and have a “federal” superior “ONE” FULL COVERAGE NATIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM for all equally; whereas the federal government is the “direct payer” of all patients healthcare invoices for all healthcare treatments; no middlemen involved in invoice transactions; a straightforward simplified payment system.

      State(s) should not be involved in or interfere with our healthcare. Make our new federal healthcare BILL simple; and the word “insurance” should be changed to “full coverage” in our new federal healthcare BILL. We need a 3% federal sales tax to help pay for our new superior federal “ONE” FULL COVERAGE NATIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. Name (title) our new national healthcare “Medifullcare” or “U.S. Medifullcare”.

      My healthcare reform article at link:

      (NOTE: I am not updating the numbers in my article of 2017; as those numbers continue to increase on a daily basis.)

      SPENDING BILL. –
      Did the U.S. Congress actually read fully the spending bill? How do “we the people” feel that they deserve that bloated salary that the taxpayer is forking over, when they are not reading what they are voting for, which cause “effects” to everyone in the U.S. and elsewhere. U.S. Congress had all year to discuss and reform government spending. Why is it that they wait to the last minute to give us an overdose of BS and threats of a shutdown?

      …U.S. Congress should not combine all government departments appropriations into a one enormous trillion-dollar bill? Each department spending bill should be voted on separately. Some departments are not needed or should merge to lessen payroll costs, etc. We have too many people working for the government. Artificial Intelligence can replace these workers for less cost. The monies you save by downsizing employees should be used for the health and welfare of the people of the United States equally. We already live in an economy of abundance; and yet we have more and more poor and homeless. U.S. Congress has dropped the ball!

      …Each government department must have a complete audit and detailed analyses. Then fix & add spending amendments for each department (or merge and/or close certain government departments). U.S. Congress should be doing this now! Today!

      …The USA / Mexico border WALL should be paid for out of the military budget funds / Department of Defense appropriations.

      …Department of Defense appropriations are being mismanaged and/or thievery is going on. Somebody is $MILKING$ this department. No more money for this department until a criminal investigation and the thieves are caught.

      …government office space (or other items) that are rentals or purchase from the private sector must have threshold limit cost. The private sector is $MILKING$ government departments appropriations.

      …government appropriations for infrastructure projects -(there is going to be a lot of $MILKING$ going on by contractors! – “You Betcha!”

      U.S. CONGRESS IS NOT PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE. -
      Artificial Intelligence is replacing the worker. Rand Paul must stop attacking entitlements. He is not preparing our country for the future whereby most people will not be working; whereas monetary distribution will have to be shared by numerous recipients to protect their comfort and welfare. Rand Paul should be attacking the subsidies that wealthy corporations are receiving. Rand Paul should be concerned about comforting the poor and homeless. Rand Paul’s priorities are sick-minded, morbid and sadistic.

      LOWER THE POPULATION! –
      United Nations must limit the amount of newborns brought into this world to pollute, create violence, destroy nature. Countries would not want to waste their government’s money on military strength if it weren’t for the threats of overpopulation and the violence that come with it.

      SPACE EXPLORATION. –
      The wealthy in the private sector wants to fly to MARS and live in peace, privacy and comfort; because they see what the future is forthcoming for earth. There will be a very large sign on MARS that says:

      NO POLITICIANS ALLOWED!
