Congressional Flimflam...

Image may contain: 1 person, closeup

If President Donald Trump signs the $1.3 trillon (with a "T") spending bill to fund the government for the rest of fiscal year 2018, he is not just accelerating his own political demise, he is guaranteeing it.  Conservatives will throw a fit, and he will not survive it.

The bill is a ploy by Democrats and Republicans that is used over and over against Conservatives. 

It is a familiar tactic used by criminal con men to get what they want.  This time, the congressional flimflammers authored a 2200 page funding bill that no one was expected to read before the "deadline," that is, before the time the government is shut down, if doesn't get the money it needs to "function."

Who is at fault for this?

YOU.

You have handed to your government a credit card to spend your money any way they wish, with no obligation and no means of paying for it, when the bill is due. 

What do they buy with your credit?

According to Democrat leadership, everything they wanted.  Republicans even admit that this is a bipartisan spending Bill and that it demonstrates what can be done if both parties decide to work together. 

It's like two criminal factions gloating about how nice it is that they worked together to rob you.

In a Washington Times article by  David Sherfinski, Sally Persons and Stephen Dinan, these reporters state"

"...The bill was a testament to what Congress could do when both sides agreed to open the federal checkbook, with the GOP touting the biggest cash infusion for the military in 15 years, and Democrats saying they won billions of dollars in new spending on health care, education and infrastructure despite being largely shut out of power in Washington, D.C. ..."

Imagine that.  You were even bribed.  Do you like that?  The bribe?  "Here's your military spending bone and the scraps for your border wall.  Now shut up and give us our pork so we can bribe our voters with it."

Even the White House announced that Trump would sign the Bill.  According to White House budget director Mick Mulvaney, regarding the bill:

"...Is it perfect? No. Is it exactly what we asked for in the budget? No. Were we ever going to get that? No, that’s not how the process works..."

Words of wisdom.  How it really works is this:

You elect criminal politicians, who promise you the moon, and then they enrich their themselves and their special interest financiers with your tax money, and you wind up being bilked.  Again.

It's a very bleak scenario, but there might be a saving Grace in all this. 

If you and I express enough outrage to get the President to VETO this Bill, we can save this President, and maybe the nation, AND, he can SHAME Congress for their criminal enterprise. 

He can berate them up one side of Capitol Hill and the other, and cash in as a fiscal hero, while drowning out the whining of the spend-thrift tantrum throwers with a salvo that indicts them for the thieves that they are.

That's not a way for him to make friends of shady politicians, but, hey, those are the same "friends" that have vowed to impeach him, (and you and your conservative agenda, by the way).

But you have to be fast.  Act now.  There is a deadline for this, and this is  not a flim flam.  The President HAS been swayed by voter outrage before has he not?
