New Congressional Omnibus spending bill continues funding for infanticide
 [Wash Examiner] House and Senate lawmakers have reached an agreement on a $1.1 trillion spending and tax cut deal that will fund the government through 2016 and lift the decades-old ban on exporting crude oil.House Speaker Paul Ryan announced the deal to Republican lawmakers in a closed-door meeting late Tuesday. A vote on the legislation could come as early as Friday in the House, followed by consideration in the Senate. The spending bill does not include many of the policy riders Republicans were seeking. It excludes a provision that would essentially halt the resettlement of Syrian and Iraqi refugees in the United States, and excludes language stripping federal money from Planned Parenthood. So Islamic Syrian and Iraqi refugees are good to go, infants attempting to be born here.... not so much. "A lot of us feel like we didn't get what we wanted, but we got some stuff that we did want," Rep. John Kline, R-Minn., said as he left the meeting. Posted by: Besoeker 2015-12-17 |
