The house needed both Democratic and Republican votes to pass the federal budget and avoid yet another federal government shutdown. So, the Republicans got a big boost (maybe $100 billion) in defense spending, and funding for the Mexican border wall. Democrats got $75 million (chicken feed really) for a gun control study group. At least that is all I have heard about. I daresay a good look at the budget will find more spending and a good helping of pork. But the newsies are all hypnotized by the Great Impeachment Show (GIS) so we don't really know what all got slipped into the humongous federal budget. Plus the entire budget is so big and complicated that the newsies would not understand it. Few newsies can do addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, even with a smart phone to help out.
We should not be passing great big fund everything bills. Those are just to big and complicated for anyone the understand what is really going on. We ought to pass one funding bill for every Federal department, defense, state, treasury, homeland defense, education, health and human services, and so on and so on. The smaller one department spending bills are small enough for one person to understand and tell us voters what is really going down.
