Senator McConnell warns against paring back spending law

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell warned on Tuesday against trying to rescind some spending from a $1.3 trillion appropriations bill passed in March, an idea that has been promoted by House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy and that the White House is mulling.

“We had an agreement with the Democrats” on the spending bill, McConnell, a Republican, said in an interview with Fox News when asked about reports that President Donald Trump wanted to cut a major portion of the spending.

“You can’t make an agreement one month and say: ‘OK, we really didn’t mean it,’” McConnell said.

 

Allowing the spending rollback to happen could rekindle the budget battles that consumed Congress for much of 2017 and early 2018, a scenario lawmakers had hoped the massive spending bill had averted through November’s congressional elections.

The biggest spenders have historically been the Republicans. McConnell and his team just doubled the deficit and gave the gluttonous military a big increase. Budgets never decrease so we may as well ride this all the way down the toilet because nobody is going to fix it.

No one ever will fix it because no one ever got elected saying " vote for me and I will give you nothing"

Why does the annual budget deficit trajectory trend down at the end of D’s presidential terms and trend up or spike when Repugs are in office...  Any word on the sequester......

"I have a great memory" 

"can't remember the details" 

 

So having a great memory but not remembering every detail about something that happened a long time ago isn’t possible? I would have bet a paycheck you’d come running in here in defense of your bud Benny. Happens very frequently. I’d also bet you remember some of this conversation but prefer to keep your trap shut

speak of memory, I also recall a time when you weren’t such a biased douchebag, out to score some points with your newly found friends

I recall the same exchange......he mentioned she had a preexisting condition and could not lose HI otherwise it might be difficult and expensive to get coverage again........of course the ACA helped with preexisting conditions.  This conversation took place around the time Benny was contemplating his move to Indiana. 

The time I’m referring to was before you were here, but he could have mentioned it again. I think Benny is still leaving out a few details but there is no doubt I’m my mind that OC benefited him in regards to his wife’s situation at one time. Notice how he tries diverting things by making shit up? Accused me of saying his wife was on Obamacare at the time his wife had that emergency? I never stated that. This is his usual mo when he gets in a jamn. Like the PayPal story, another case where gap tooth ram in to rescue him   :lol:

if course he does, your trying to play gotcha and your wrong and constantly trying to insert your agenda into other people lives.   Obamacare had a couple of positives,  pre-existing being one of them  but it's not applicable to most people going from one employer plan to another.

Even before Obamacare I never had a single new employee say my insurance didn't accept them.  I don't buy for a second that many of them didn't have one in their family.

I dont remember exactly but Illinois had a state insurance exchange type program. It was the same intent as ACA for people who were having trouble getting it on their own. It only lasted one year. I fired the one guy and was able to get the other unhealthy piece of shit insurance after that. Pretty sure he lied on his application tho but thats none of my business.  

Anyways... Im only hiring younger and healthier new employees now. These premiums are just getting out of hand.

Young, healthy, single guys have no idea how good they have it on the job market.    

Potential employers physically evaluate you by your appearance in job interviews.   Its the nature of the beast.  Fit, well dressed, well kept people have a huge advantage.

Thats kind of the trend now in our market. Im looking for a kid right out of the construction or engineering program from U of I or Purdue.

I just hired a new girl in the office bout 2 months ago. Had one applicant who was a 62 year old woman. She was perfect, super nice and had worked for a contractor for 26 years doing exactly what I wanted her to do. I picked the 25 year old woman with no experience in construction and spoke spanish. Cuz I knew that old broad was only still working so she could get insurance.
