take a veterans bill and make it a spending bill: Our government is sneaky

[skibrian]

So, I learned something new.  If you want to ram a bill through Congress that funds the government through October, you don't write a new bill...you infect an old bill like a virus and take it over.

So, a bill mandating the hiring of veterans (more or less) becomes a bill 2x the size of an Obama spending bill (in number of pages) and goes from being called:

H.R. 244 HIRE Vets Act

to

H.R. 244 Legislative vehicle for Omnibus 2017 Consolidation Appropriations Act

feel free to go here and register your opinion on the new spending bill:

that of course, the NWS will help fund...

Hi Skibrian -- I have been a long time FnF shareholder both common and preferred. I believe that we will get our money because There Is No Alternative.

That said, this whole NWS pays for Obamacare/EPA/Appropriations/Highways/Dogfood etc. is highly misleading. In fact, it makes me want to root for NWS more if $1 in NWS can fund $100 in government services.

I think the point that NWS is illegal can be made without all the Breitbart/Infowars paranoia.

Just my 2 cents.

ps: This board is much saner than the other board.
