Heritage Blasts Omnibus Bill On Twitter
The Heritage Foundation, which is the premier conservative think tank in Washington D.C., took to its official Twitter account this morning to blast the omnibus spending bill before Congress this week.
The think tank, like most conservative,s has long railed against these types of bills because of how they are used to hide unrelated items and force them through without any real debate. The practice is abhorrent, and Heritage wasted no time in calling Congress out over it.
The omnibus spending bill unveiled last night is an embarrassing rundown of broken promises and leaves zero doubt Congress has turned its back on its commitments to the American people.
For too long, members of Congress have pledged to break Washington’s spending addiction…

Hang on, folks. It gets even better from here.
… defund Planned Parenthood, restore regular order to the budgeting process, secure the border and end the failed Obamacare experiment once and for all.
This monstrosity does none of those things.

Instead, this bill disregards the unstable fiscal path that the country is on in favor of more deficit spending, welcoming back trillion dollar deficits for the foreseeable future.

…Which is a damn shame, considering the Party In Power has vowed to do the exact opposite of this since Barack Obama took office a decade ago.
This 2,232 page omnibus was largely crafted behind closed doors by a handful of Congressional power brokers and will be voted on almost immediately, providing an insufficient amount of time for thorough debate and constructive amendment.

At a time when Congress should be reinstituting spending caps or enacting other measures to put our nation’s spending on a fiscally responsible track, it is unshackling the Washington swamp to spend without constraint. @JustinBogie

Perhaps the only thing I disagree with here is that the writer doesn’t go far enough in tearing Congress a new one.
Congress has completely and totally abdicated its responsibilities in utilizing the power of the purse. It has allowed career politicians and lobbyists to completely cave on any sense of fiscal responsibility and throw at the American public an abomination of a spending bill that does nothing the Republicans who are supposedly in power claimed they would do.
But, when you think about the last decade, it’s not really that surprising, is it?
