You really don't know how spending bills work, do you?Not true! Democrats wanted way more than $600 dollars. So, once again you are lying. As for foreign spendingThe bill was over 5,000 pages. No one knew what's in it.I couldn't agree more. If Trump had been active in the beginning with these negotiations, instead of being the sorry ass pos who he is, it might have been addressed, then taken off the bill.I'm curious what good it does me as an American to give $10 million to Pakistan for gender studies.When are you going to start paying attention? In the beginning, these negotiations were handed off to Mnuchin. Trump had nothing to do with it, and was okay with the $600 in the beginning. He all of a sudden moved the goal posts eight months later. He doesn't have a clue, because he could care less. He was not involved. That is why we are in this mess.You aren't paying attention. President Trump wanted a 2K stimulus without all the gifts to other nations that don't even like us. Congress insisted on $600 and a hugh waste of taxpayer money. I'm sorry he didn't stick to a veto.Trump was never involved. That's what you voted for.
Spending bills originate in the Democrat-controlled House. They own all this, including the pitiful handout to Americans.
Both Democrats and Republicans were no happy with the Pakistan relief package, but Lindsey Graham thought it was important;
Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump has opposed to such a provision, while one of the prime movers of such an aid to Pakistan Senator Lindsay Graham argued that it was important to make life better for women in Pakistan.
The legislation, running into more than 5,500 pages, which now heads to the White House for President Trump to sign it into law, makes available a minimum of USD 15 million in assistance to Pakistan "for democracy programs" and USD 10 million "for gender programs."
Lindsey Graham knew what was in it. Why are you blaming Democrats for something a Republican created, and that a Republican president has to sign? Your argument, as always, makes no sense.
Democrats control the House. Democrats controlled what's in the bill.
