Did the right get the spending bill right or wrong?
On Friday, Congress passed a $1.3 trillion dollar spending bill - the omnibus. Did the right get it right, or wrong? A roundup of articles takes a look at the issue.
1. Secretly-negotiated omnibus bill is no way to spend Americans' money
From The Kansas City Star: "This is Grade A, full-blown malarkey, as anyone following Washington clearly understands. A gargantuan, omnibus spending bill is about as far from "regular order" as you can get."
2. In our opinion: Spending bill is fiscally irresponsible
From The Deseret News: "But the biggest problem is that this bill takes the nation one more giant step toward insolvency."
3. This monstrosity of a spending bill will badly hurt Republicans
From The Washington Post: "It's a laundry list of broken promises, and it could have serious consequences for the Republican majority in Congress."
