Instead, nearly all of Congress is waiting to see what omnibus bill emerges from the smoke filled room.
Now that items such as the internet sales tax, official legislative amnesty for "Dreamers," and the insurance bailout have been left out of the bill, some might consider this bill a victory.
This bill is the final nail in the coffin of all the promises on health care spending and immigration they ran on in 2016.
This bill paves the road to permanently bust the budget caps forever, which will lead to trillions more in spending and cause interest payments on the debt to surge past the cost of the military or even Medicaid in just eight years.
2) Bait and switch on the wall: Since this bill increases spending for everything, one would think that at least the president would get the $15 billion or so needed for the wall.
For Congress to pass a budget bill and not defund DACA or defund the issuance of visas from countries on Trump's immigration pause list in order to fight back against the courts is tantamount to Congress directly passing amnesty.
8) More "Opioid crisis funding" without addressing the problem: The bill increases funding for "Opioid addiction prevention and treatment" by $2.8 billion relative to last year, on top of the $7 billion they already spent in February.
