Individual bills with no earmarks!!! 🇺🇸
Why? Literally never been done that way before
Because it NEEDS to be done. Individually it keeps compromises from having to be made in order to get things done effectively. Ear marks just take up time for agreements, influenced by political standing, so on and so forth. Creates a bunch of unnecessary B.S for each topic at hand. Prevents wasteful spending @@MikeW-dz7ij
@@MikeW-dz7ijso you’re ok with funding sex clubs in Philidephia? American taxpayers shouldn’t be paying for politicians special pet projects like 25 million to the Getty Museum , sex clubs , and all types of crap that has nothing to do with government .
No earmarks! Period!
Shut it down. Close the open border
Cant close the border if the government is shut down lol
Keep fighting the good fight Senator Lee, if only we heard these kind of truth bombs come from the Senate Minority Leader.
Thanks again Mike, for watching out for Utah, and the entire nation.
We are screwed, I don’t see how we can recover from this financial disaster
There is no financial disaster lol
Well, thank goodness some senators are using their heads..
Shut it Down..
Why are you advocating that we harm our own country?
Start naming the names of the people inserting these earmarks into this type of bill.
Shut the Gov down
Speaker Johnson where are you?! So disappointed, he is not keeping his promises. WE ARE BROKE!
It doesn't matter, this should be the least of your worries. The America you once knew is about to take a turn on the road to no return. The 10 or 20 million who invaded our country haven't come here to have a 4th of July celebration but to help to dismantle and destroy our beloved America, soon to go into history and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
@@youngatheart-rq6ic I respectfully disagree. The RINOS are supporting Biden immigration by funding it. If you fund the government bureaucrats you are giving them “life” and power. We the people have 2 primary tools, our vote and our money. You can give up and say it’s too late. I will not and fight for my children and grandchildren.
@@tedolsen6251 Does anyone actually believe that they will allow Trump to be President. They already prove they can rig elections not only in 20 but also in 22 and again with the Steve Garvey primary and absolutely nobody was even able to get cases of election fraud heard let alone prosecuted. If and this is a big if they even hold an election in 2024. after all they did not allow the 10 million plus invasion for no reason at all. Biden certainly allowed it to happen but why did it take over 3 yrs for Texas to do something, the GOP held the house for 2 yrs and did absolutely nothing, they could have forced the closure by shutting down the government until the border was closed, they didn't. They did put on a show and wasted time and allow millions more to invade while they impeached Alejandro N. Mayorkas, which means absolutely nothing.
How can they even propose bills with that garbage in it? Refuse to pass it!!
Chrimeny....you don't buy the entire candy store and be happy to get a stick of gum.....wake up and end this crap
During the Depression in the 20s, my parents counted how many toilet tissues they used. We grew beans in the garden. When we went to visit friends, I was so used to having beans every meal, I asked, "Where's the beans?"
No earmarks. Taxpayers shouldnt be paying for anything that hasn’t nothing to do with government .
God Dang CRIMINALS 💸💰🔥
This bill sounds like treason to me
No!! No!
On Borrowed money
we are in debt because you dont balance the damn budget!!!!!!! And you ignored the Medicare social security problem for years. Their negligence is beyond description!!!!!!!!!!
Ban on earmarks keep policy of banning .. Fired the bloated government..go back to basics..
Fire Yellen too! We are falling into a abyss!!!😢
Find out which senators that are actually putting these appropriation bills basically into their states and c all them out the Republicans need to name the state and the senators that they are advocating for these millions or billions of dollars to come into their state by the American taxpayers appropriations I don't get to kayak at the government's expense
Balance the budget
Thats not how national budgets work
@@MikeW-dz7ij your thinking has us 100 trillion in debt
@@bigtobacco1098 Not even close
@MikeW-dz7ij look up unfunded liabilities... it's real close...
@@bigtobacco1098 So you admit you have no idea what you're talking about. Got it
And there is the government at work, therefore our distrust needs no questioning.
Put the list of who wants earmarkeds so we can vote the tape worms out of office
Why are they giving it to Georgetown so they can control them
Screw the Demorats and the Rinos. MAGA Party from now on.Trump 2024.
Hopefully Congress blocks it from any daylight
Based Mike Lee!
Vote out career politicians. Term limits on the senate and congress. These relationships with big bizz is inappropriate to the American people. The government can't serve two masters. Industry should not have a voice in our elections. Limit PACs contributions to elections. Grass roots is the ONLY way to fund a campaign.
But they passed it. Action not words
I had to look it up and I say no way Jose
OMB defines earmarks as funds provided by the Congress for projects or programs where the congressional direction (in bill or report language) circumvents the merit-based or competitive allocation process, or specifies the location or recipient, or otherwise curtails the ability of the Administration to control ...
