The latest monstrous spending bill will only add to the pile of debt the government can’t afford. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
As a partial government shutdown looms, the House Freedom Caucus has called on Republicans to oppose the ‘Swamp Omnibus’ bill, criticizing it for containing a ridiculous amount of pork. This government funding package is designed to prevent a partial shutdown set for Friday.
“The House Freedom Caucus opposes the $1.65 trillion omnibus spending bill, which will be decided in two halves, the first being brought to the floor this week under suspension of the rules,” Freedom Caucus wrote in a statement.
The group continued: “Even in the face of $34.4 trillion in national debt, the omnibus will bust the bipartisan spending caps signed into law less than a year ago and is loaded with hundreds of pages of earmarks worth billions.”
