That's another $70 billion between now and the election.

Most of the items were added because the GOP failed to enact a budget bill for this fiscal year. The spending included in the bill are normally things that would have been added to the typical budget process. If there is a failure, it is the GOP failure to finalize a budget and not Democrats who are tryinig to rectify the problems that the failure caused.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
