Sen. McConnell offers alternative to humongous omnibus bill

Democrats want to ram through a 2,000 page, Trillion dollar omnibus bill before Christmas.

The urgency to pass this bill is because Democrats have included the provision that will keep the government running rather than run out of funding at the end of December.

Instead of passing a continuing resolution that would continue the government into next year the Democrats have included it in their 2,000 page monstrosity that is so full of pork and special interest spending it will cost the government a half a billion dollars a page!

Senator Mitch McConnell has offered a simple one page continuing resolution that would continue the government through February 18th, allowing the new Congress deal with any major spending bills rather than allow lawmakers who have been voted out of office to have one last fling at the pork feeding trough.
