Does anyone else not understand what the democrats and REPUBLICANS that voted for the bill were actually voting for besides me and a few more because your so triggered about the raise the criminals were wanting to give themselves that you just ignored the fact that they tried to pass a law hidden deep in the spending bill that wouldn't allow any investigation into anyone in Washington DC for crimes they committed against the American people, our country

[@jimmypachecofeliciano3145]

This is a bunch of B.S shut down the government I’m tired of all this

[@markmanners1123]

Congress doesnt need a pay raise. They haven't done anything positive since 1984. It's supposed to be a service any ways not a career.

[@the_big_dog813]

The House and Senate need ZERO pay until they do their job, nothing at all in the bill other than the absolute essential one page bill, with no back pay. The CR should include a provision that NO federal employees will get back pay for a shutdown outside of the military. Automatic complete defunding of all agencies outside of defense, disaster relief and farm bills that will not be paid back. If Dems resist shut it down until January 20 and then defund everything retroactively, including for all House and Senate members who do not vote for the bare bill.

[@tdavis5575]

Are you kidding me!!!! NO MORE BUCKETS OF FUNDING!!!!!!!!!!! One fund at a time approved by the people to hell with congress and the senate

[@buddycarroll4882]

The debt ceiling needs to be reduced not raised.

[@NankerPhelge65]

Debt ceiling should be $1

[@Patriot47-q8z]

The thing is that I Trust the new Administration...if they need more money I believe that Americans won't suffer for it...he will use tariffs and other means to compensate.

[@mriccardi825]

It's not that simple "The debt limit does not authorize new spending commitments. It simply allows the government to finance existing legal obligations that Congresses and presidents of both parties have made in the past. Failing to increase the debt limit would have catastrophic economic consequences." if not raised, things won't get funded and also anything in the new agenda will stall. The democrat angle atm is either to do just that (stall the agenda) or hold the debt ceiling hostage so they can stuff all the pork they want in it since the government runs out of funding in June I think.

[@pattyboyce7204]

The ones who voted for this bill don’t mention the hidden giveaways, like congressional pay raises which is uncalled for when citizens are suffering without 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[@mriccardi825]

That's not the worst of it. Look up the Covid stuff, the ability of congress to "quash" subpoenas, and the funding of an outside group that works actively to suppress sonservative free speech (in other words, we will literally be paying to censor ourselves.) Mike Johnson sold us out.

[@peterdykzeul3074]

What a stupid comment. How do you think the majority of the Govt. spending goes. Govt. employees, support for Israel, aid to US farmers etc. Do you somehow think they send it all to China?

[@herintegrity1453]

@ That’s the problem. Why would we continue doing the same things which deliver a failed result? That’s the problem. Time to take a new approach! Govt spending has bankrupted our nation. I mean wasteful spending. All the money we have sent to Ukraine has been laundered back to the Clinton’s Foundation and the leftist thieves. Where do you think they get all that $$$? Congress has appropriated billions of taxpayers $ for electric charging stations, how many cs were installed? Less than 10 charging stations !! Where’s the money? Where is our bank bailout money we were supposedly to get back! How much was actually paid back? ZERO! Have you read the bill? Furthermore, this bill allows for gain of function research so they can release a biological weapon again on us and call it a virus! Furthermore, this bill provided blanket immunity for the govt criminals who have violated our rights, weaponizing the dept o justice against the people and out president, preventing the accountability for their treasonous acts used against us! No. the Treasonous Marxist Liberals! What a stupid way to try to correct me!

[@herintegrity1453]

@FYI: China owns Biden! He does everything they tell him to do. And they give all of our oil reserves to China, let the CCO operate 21 CCP Police Stations here on American soil, and sooo much more, wouldn’t surprise me if they gave it all to China..

[@buddycarroll4882]

Congress deserves a pay cut ,not a pay raise. When Congress has stopped all waste and fraud spending, then and only then, should they be allowed a pay raise.

[@terrylancey5451]

When they start doing something for suffering americans, then maybe a raise

It makes me sick that they squandered the FEMA money over seas. There needs to be a rule that if money is earmarked for FEMA it should not be funneled to anything else. SSA that money should not be funneled anywhere else. There are programs that money is set for that program only. This business of taking from Peter to pay Paul is not an intelligent way to fund a budget ever. If I had to run my house with that rule I would go crazy. It is a never ending slide!!
