$8.6 Trillion in new spending....equaling the new debt that Obama created from 2009-2017....and all in less than one year.
Democrats call it investment. We in the real world call it spending. Democrats consider tax cuts lost money that they could have used for their pet projects.
Democrats figure they know how better to spend our money than we do.....but that's not what they're doing anymore.
Much of our money is going to foreigners. Trillions are going to illegals and foreign oil.
Clearly congress cannot be trusted with our money anymore. They're practically burning it right before our eyes.
