    It's the very definition of Congress.

    I'm with Paul on this one. We should be focused on lowering the debt and deficits, not increasing them. Government TAKES plenty of money and spends plenty. It's a matter of prioritizing what to spend on.

    For the record, the government's fiscal year is Sept to Sept. The budget and spending through Sept. 2017 was Obama's last budget. Trump is responsible going forward. Trump would be responsible for any "emergency" spending bills passed, but I don't know any were.

    At this point in my life, since I now pay little in taxes, I hate to bitch about spending, deficits, or the debt.
    I am afraid they might just sell my ass for scrap to help with the short falls.
