United States President Barak Obama is likely to sign a $1.1 trillion pork-laden spending bill with over 5,200 congressional earmarks. The omnibus spending bill was approved by both houses of Congress controlled by the Democratic majority. The bill includes appropriations for most federal agencies for the 2010 fiscal year, except the Department of Defense.
The spending bill also would require taxpayer funding of abortion and needle exchanges in the District of Columbia. Yet the big Congressional spenders pinched pennies by terminating the voucher program for the District’s parents, forcing their children to attend the failed public schools there.
Obama and other liberal Democrats had criticized the Republican Congress and President George W. Bush for deficit spending. However, the spending increased once the Democrats gained the majority of Congress in 2007 and since Obama was inaugurated president.
In my next post, I shall discuss this lack of the change Obama and his liberal supporters falsely promised.
