Explain what is at stake in this bill.
I wish Congress would pass individual appropriations bills instead of these last-minute omnibus packages. This is how bad governance works.
The housing voucher expansion in this bill will help thousands of families. Not everything in government spending is wasteful.
Another massive omnibus spending bill that nobody actually reads before voting on. Where is the fiscal responsibility?
The defense spending provisions are actually reasonable given current threats. People are too quick to dismiss anything labeled an 'appropriations act.'
