GOP Senator Jerry Moran Kansas Explains Why He Supports $1.7 Trillion Spending Package, decries the "method" bill was produced, still voted for it

[Catsnmeters]

It is responsibility of leadership to put NATIONAL PRIORITIES ahead of funding local projects that will keep their fat butts in office for another term.

Is it possible that this bill was a benefit to the nation?

The 18 Republicans could have made a stand and said no allowing the bill to be debated next year. They sold out for their own personal ambitions of staying in office.

They could have but then nothing would have gotten passed. This the rush. Welcome to politics.

And if we had a responsible Congress, this bill would have been developed and debated incrementally over a period of months. What we got was a rubber stamp on 1.7 trillion dollars at the last minute.

I agree with this. Unfortunately we don't have a responsible Congress as a whole.
