    Why, those traitors! How dare they vote against spending our way towards insolvency? Don't they realize that's how you make the country great again? They already got tired of so much winning, the ingrates.

  3. Wait a minute, does the whole bill go to the interventionalist constitution breaking wars or is the money divided up into the even more monstrous (if possible) Education, Labor, Health and Human Services and related agencies. IOW, what was the ratio of monies?
