@GottaLaff I'm curious. Do you think it's a good thing that the spending bills are lumped together into huge omnibus bills? Our representatives can vote for more pork spending without accountability. Separate bills mean that each has to stand politically on it's own. Which method is better in your opinion?

@jgoldaz It depends. If lumping them together is the only way to get what we want, then sometimes that’s what happens.

@GottaLaff So you're saying that letting the representatives pass whatever they want without political kickback is fine as long as they sometimes pass something that you want? Do you realize that they're using omnibus spending bills constantly just to bypass what most people want and get their pet projects funded? If that's okay to you then why bother voting at all? What they actually do most the time doesn't matter to you as long they sometimes do what you want.

@jgoldaz I said no such thing. I explained to you what I thought happens, and expressed zero opinion about it.

@GottaLaff You posted the letter from Tom McClintock. It was snarky. Many others joined in, saying that Gaetz, et al., were immature children, etc. My point is that they're trying to stop a toxic government practice that removes accountability and lets gov. reps do anything they want. I support that effort to stop it. It will make government work better for all of us.
