$1.7 T spending bill before Congress

(Natural News) In the waning days that they remain in control of Congress, Democrats are set to ram through a one-year spending bill worth $1.7 trillion that runs 4,155 pages — without members having a chance to read it, which has become par for the course with our dysfunctional Legislative Branch. And worse, there are going to be more than a few Republicans who will vote for it, including several who are retiring and on their way out the door because their districts or their states are getting massive influxes of taxpayer cash. As reported by Breitbart News, the military-industrial complex gets the lion’s share of the money: The bill would fund the government through September 2023 and would boost defense spending by $76 billion, totaling $858 billion. Domestic spending is $773 billion. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has chalked up the higher increase in defense spending compared to domestic spending as a Republican victory, even though Democrats managed to pass their $700 billion Inflation Reduction Act, which boosted domestic expenditures on climate change and leftist domestic priorities. Mind you, this outrage comes on top of a massive, country-ending national debt that has surpassed, as of this writing, $31.4 trillion. https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-12-22-congress-set-to-pass-another-massive-spending-bill-without-reading-it.html
