no one is "giving" anyone anything. sorry, but forcing someone to buy insurance doesn't count as charitable, especially if they couldn't afford it before, and the new requirements make it cost more.
what i don't understand is why government is funded by these large, all-inclusive funding bills.
who spends money like that? what individual or organization of any kind(commercial, non-profit, religious, whatever) do you know that plans their entire yearly budget at once with a take-it-or-leave-it proposition?
let every funding measure stand or fall on it's own.
you actually think members of congress from either party give a shit about representing their constituents? ever heard of that whole bailout thing or what?
frankly, I'd like to know exactly what makes you think that--because while it is certainly the official narrative, there's no reason I'm aware of to actually believe that politicians work for or represent anyone but themselves.
it's really sad that there are still people in this world that conflate legality with morality.
maybe there were some people on SR doing things that actually hurt someone, you can have distaste for them all you want, surely.
but don't be so ignorant as to assume that everyone that breaks the law should be dismissed and scorned as worthy of punishment.
the law is all too often a malfeasance, or have you not heard of regulatory capture? or things like ya know, slavery? Jim Crow?
"doing his job" is no excuse for being an asshole. if your job requires or encourages you to be an asshole, that's a problem.
seriously, shame on you for lack of critical thought. you must have the problem-solving skills of a bobblehead doll.

oh wait, they don't exist: "This new study is destined to raise more questions than it answers," he said. But at this point, a few things are clear.

and do they simply stop spending money across the board if there is only one budget item that is being disputed?
really? no organization you know of debates expenditures individually? you sure? or have you never actually made a budget?

Or maybe the government is lying to go to war *again*--just like they have been constantly and consistently since(at least) Vietnam?
