Congratulations. You have nearly the same level of curiosity as those voting on it.

Odd, I don't recall seeing a similar post about any of the massive Trump spending bills.

Not surprised. You tend toward tunnel vision

He’s just needling you because you always pull out the “but Biden did it, too” card - including at least twice yesterday.

I personally think is way too much pork in the bill, but I also think McCarthy’s threat to shut down the government would cause much more damage. And I don’t think it’s just a threat, because they’ve done it before, and it’s never actually been helpful.

The Dems are cramming in as many pet projects as they can while they're in charge. Standard fare when a party is about to lose all or part of their power.
