    Because removing requirements to spend money the way congress intends is to forgo your power of the purse and this is the only thing a republican majority needs them for. Schumer is literally greenlighting the coming holocaust piggy bank all because his donors gave him a call. Disgusting fucking greedy loser.

    Read the details of the agreement, this allows funds to be pulled from other projects for whatever Trump wants. 350 billion for ICE? Why not. Thanks Chuck, I’m sure the American Holocaust will take longer to get to the Jews than the last one. There was also the claim that Government employees don’t want to be folurloughed but a majority were okay if it mean congress made it harder to fire them.

      Thank you for clarifying that this removes the requirement to spend the money where it was allocated. This answers my question and could indeed be worse than a shutdown.
