The $1.2 spending bill has spent a lot of time circulating around the halls of Congress in the middle of the night, and the latest example of that is the U.S. Senate passing the bill well after midnight:
The Senate passed the $1.2 trillion funding package early Saturday after a last-minute agreement, averting a partial government shutdown.
The funding legislation was approved by a vote of 74-24 at 2:02 a.m. ET, more than two hours after the midnight ET deadline for passage of the critical legislation that was approved by the House on Friday.
The package includes funding for a slate of critical government operations, including the departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, State, and the legislative branch.
There is very little of critical importance in the Homeland Security and State Departments and there is absolutely nothing of critical importance in the Labor, Health & Human Services, and Education Departments.
The U.S. national debt is about $35 trillion and rising $1 trillion about every 100 days and now we're expected to thank Congress for this level of fiscal responsibility:
Amy Klobuchar (@amyklobuchar) ~ Hello 2 a.m.ers! 🌕 For everyone who is still awake, we just passed the budget and averted a shutdown.
You’re welcome.
This stupid bitch takes a dump on the heads of American citizens and then she wants to be praised for it?! What a worthless buffoon she is.
Wait, we're expected to thank them now?
John Hawkins (@johnhawkinsrwn) ~ That's government in a nutshell. Wasting staggering amounts of our money on useless garbage we didn't want done in the first place and then wanting a thank you for it.
Yeah, Amy ... We The American People will be MUCH better served with a federal government that is 10% of the size it is now, you silly lil' twit.
Yes, Sen. Klobuchar, thanks so much for delivering the gay senior citizen home in Elizabeth Warren's state and a group that pushes teens to transition.
Royce White (@Highway_30) ~ They have the audacity to pretend like they're doing you a favor ... INFLATION. #Godspeed[/i]
Jake Shields (@jakeshieldsajj) ~ We wanted the government to shut down because we are sick of you wasting all of our money.
The federal government's tax revenue in 2022 was about $5 trillion, and yet that's not enough, so they play these "shutdown theater" games just so they can keep spending far more than they take in, and the rest of us pay the price.
Jeff Deist (@jeffdeist) ~ Politics drops it pretenses. These sick & insatiable mediocrities have moved into openly mocking us.
Mike Young (@MikeYoungEsq) ~ They put us in more debt for pork barrel projects, money laundering, and socialism. And want you to thank them for working so hard to screw you over.
Anthony Bialy (@AnthonyBialy) ~ I’ve never thanked anyone who’s offered an unsolicited “You’re welcome” and am not going to start with a senator boasting of wasting even more of our money.
Lady Spaulding (@LadySpaulding11) ~ "You're welcome."? As if you are doing us a favor for creating this mess and then pretending to fix it. Spare us the gaslighting.
Wow, Amy ... sure looks like your pompous "you're welcome" has just been rejected and thrown back into your fat, ugly face.
Their M.O. is making things worse, then printing and spending money to "fix" the problems they created and then expect everybody else to thank them for it.
