Why do I get the feeling we are being screwed again just like we were with Obamacare when congressmen knowingly signed a 20,000+ page bill they had never even read. That’s because we are. A 1.1 trillion dollar government spending bill (Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015) was just signed into law with its 1,603 audacious pages. Did our congress even read this one or did they just vote, seal, and deliver it to our tyrannical presidents lap to be put into law? Who knows! All I know is that I am sick and tired of our government passing outrageous laws where we the people are left to foot the bill. Here are a few quotes from Senator Warren about the bill:
“Here we are five years after Dodd-Frank with congress on the verge of ramming through a provision that would do nothing for the middle class, do nothing for community banks, do nothing but raise the risk that taxpayers will have to bail out the biggest banks once again.
…..
“And now we’re watching as congress passes yet another provision that was written by lobbyists for the biggest recipient of bailout money in the history of this country, and it’s attached to a bill that needs to pass or else the entire federal government will grind to a halt. Think about that kind of power.”
Think about that is right! A bill that ‘needed to be signed’ included provisions for taxpayers to bail out the biggest banks if needed once again. Why even put such a provision in there? Simple the US government is bowing down to their banker and lobbyists cohorts and we the American people are left with the burden of its effect….but that’s not all in this devious resolution…
