    https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/18/us/politics/spending-bill-explainer.html

    Oh, there's more. A LOT more:

    Title I Division B, page 25: $3 million dollars for molasses inspections.

    Section 21306, page 101: Skirts Statutory PAYGO so the government doesn’t have to pay for programs by offsetting spending elsewhere.

    Section 21306, Page 102: Declares our Statutory PAYGO scorecard is zero. Congress does this because if Statutory PAYGO is above zero it triggers sequestration. It’s as if Congress is declaring we have not added a dime to the deficit from direct spending the last 2 years.

    Section 205, Page 133: Allow gasoline with up to 15% ethanol to be sold year round. This subsidy for corn farmers is unrelated to keeping the government open.

    Section 1002, page 938: Exempts Members of Congress from having to enroll in Obamacare.

    Section 1202, Page 328: Defines “music tourism.” Not sure what “music tourism” has to do with keeping the government open.

    Section 208, Page 1400: Redefines “criminal offender” to “justice-involved individual.”

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Congress critters too. This is going to be a very interesting administration.

      I've often lamented what a shame it is that billionaires don't have more influence in the political process.

      I was only joking

                Whattabouting jokes is not a good look.

                The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

                  Oligarchs come in all forms, the common denominator among all is their worship of the power their money brings them.

                        It’s a photo of the son, or Crown Prince of Darkness in the World, of the currently designated Antichrist, George Soros.
