A small group of congressional leaders have negotiated a 2,232 page, $1.3 trillion bill to fund the government completely behind closed doors, giving Congress less than 48 hours to review it. Six times over the past six months congressional leadership has chosen to fund our $4 trillion Government by last-minute, take-it-or-leave-it spending bills with no time for debate or amendments allowed. This is no way to run a government, but unfortunately has become “business as usual” here in Washington.
