Omnibus bill…not a Budget

[fasteddie]

Here is some info you all need.

This bill, It’s not an official ‘Federal Budget’. It’s an Omnibus bill…not a Budget…He outsmarted them again…Congress basically screwed themselves by not passing a Budget…

Per the Constitution…the President must adhere to a Budget set forth by Congress and direct the expenditures as provided therein.

This is another one of those big Porkulus Bills, like they gave Obama for 8 years. This is not a Budget..

An Omnibus Spending Bill may have some ‘instructions’ as to how the money will be spent…but Obama ignored them. He spent the money, or didn’t spend it, however he wanted to. And Congress didn’t do a thing about it! Because they couldn’t..

I think our President observed how this happened, year after year. He is bound to realize that those ‘appropriations’ for different things in these Omnibus bills…are merely ‘suggestions’.

So like Obama, Pres Trump can spend this money on whatever he wants to. Or…not spend it.

Planned Parenthood? What if our President decided to tell the Treas Dept to ‘slow-walk’ that money to Planned Parenthood…until the Senate gets off their ass and confirms his appointees?

Sanctuary Cities? What if our President decided to ‘slow-walk’ that money too…until those Sanctuary Cities assist ICE in rounding up criminal illegal aliens?

Splodey heads? From the Dems and the Enemedia? Why yes. There would be a colorful display of splodey heads.

But what could they do about it. Hah.

Our President could just say…’What! Congress should’ve passed a Budget.’

done finished…research was done…and it is so very humorous actually….our VSG..just said just give me money for the military and the wall…put anything else you want in it…and those goofballs did.

In this case, as per above….he doesn’t have to spend a dime….because it is not a budget…and even if it was…researched….he could still spend as he please… Congress appropriates….up to the President to spend it…or not….as he pleases..

Wheatietoo  laid it all out for all…Wheatietoo did most of the work and put together the consolidated update as per above….

Again, that is why Obama never had a Budget in his Presidency…Congress did continual Omibus’s and he just took the money….for 8 years…and no one seems to know where it went…

From what I watched on FOX news yesterday and this morning, what you stated is spot on eddie! From most peoples thoughts he did it to get more increases to get our military much needed funds, and in the end have the upper hand.

Entering serious talks with North Korea, regular funding for the military is essential. Even if it's only for six months.

It's amazing how this 'budget' thing is being spun by even the supposed Trump supporters. Watch what happens in September, just a month before the mid-term elections. I'll put my money squarely on Trump for this gambit. He's damned good at this.

Understand two things: 1. Everyone in the D.C. establishment (swamp) hates the President because he's shaking things up and disrupting their cushy lifestyles. Political affiliation doesn't really matter; Paul Ryan hates him just as much as Chuck Schumer does, and for the same reason. 2. The republicans would like nothing more than to be back in the minority in Congress. It's an easier gig to complain about the work of others than to have to actually get off your butt and get stuff done.

Mark my words, Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell will actively work to throw the mid-term elections to the Democrats. Paul Ryan's PAC recently gave money to Conor Lamb (D) in the PA election. It doesn't get much more "in yer face" than that.
