Donald Trump and Paul Ryan adopt Chuck Schumer’s spending bill proposals!
.
SEE: Trump Says He’ll Sign Congress Spending Deal That Jettisons His Goals
“This agreement is a good agreement for the American people, and takes the threat of a government shutdown off the table,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Sunday night in a statement. “The bill ensures taxpayer dollars aren’t used to fund an ineffective border wall, excludes poison pill riders, and increases investments in programs that the middle-class relies on, like medical research, education, and infrastructure.”
Schumer’s spending proposal includes funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which is a propaganda arm of our Washington Swamp Creatures, and it increases funding for the National Endowment for the Arts and Humanities, two more propaganda arms of the Washington Establishment ___ both of which Trump promised to defund.
The bill continues to fund Planned Parenthood and will fund the federal Department of Education to the tune of $71.6 billion. Where in our Constitution has Congress been granted a power to tax for, spend on and regulate public school systems created under State Constitution? The Bill will also double the number of H-2B visas which are used to replace American workers, while it forbids one dime to be spent to build a needed wall to help stop illegal immigration, human and drug trafficking. In addition, the bill will not cut off new money to sanctuary cities as Trump promised.
There is also a reported $295 million for Puerto Rico’s Medicaid program, and less than half of the money requested to fund our border security.
In the words of Charles Krauthammer, Trump got “rolled on the budget deal”.
Actually, Trump has embraced Paul Ryan’s and Chuck Schumer’s spending deal, and American taxpaying Citizens will once again bite the bullet and be played by the Washington Swamp creatures, which now appears to include Donald Trump as its Ring Master.

American citizens are sick and tired of being made into tax-slaves to finance a maternity ward for the poverty stricken populations of other countries who invade our borders to give birth.
Federal funding of the "arts" is a plain violation of our 1st Amendment protection!
Funding for the National Endowment for the Arts and Humanities, which is included in Paul Ryan's spending bill, is not authorized under the Constitution and is a misappropriation of federal revenue!
Aside from the fact that federal funding of the arts is a misappropriation of federal revenue, it may come as a surprise to some that funding the arts using federal revenue violates the protection guaranteed to taxpayers under the First Amendment! Let me explain.
In 1998, the U. S. Supreme Court ruled in the case National Endowment for the Arts v. Finley that NEA grants are constitutional if content does not offend "...general standards of decency..." But the Court not only ignored the absence of a power granted to Congress by our Constitution to fund the promotion of art, it likewise ignored the carefully limited wording in our Constitution granting power to Congress To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts and how may this be done? by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries
So, how does federal funding of the arts violate a taxpayer’s guarantee that Congress shall make no law …abridging freedom of speech? Federal funding does so by allowing A, who has received federal grant money taxed away from B, to vocalize and express their opinions and feelings in a more forceful manner than B, who has been taxed to finance A’s expressions and feelings in public, while B’s financial resources are reduced by the hand of the federal government in its quest to fund A’s speech and expressions.
In clear and simple language, federal funding of the arts provides a group selected and made privileged by folks in government with a powerful megaphone to express their opinions and feelings, while such funding is forcefully taken from those who may object to the expressions and opinions spewed out in a federally funded venue.
And this brings us back to the danger of allowing the federal government to engage in such funding as stated by Representative John Page:
"The framers of the Constitution guarded so much against a possibility of such partial preferences as might be given, if Congress had the right to grant them, that, even to encourage learning and useful arts, the granting of patents is the extent of their power. … the wise framers of our Constitution saw that, if Congress had the power of exerting what has been called a royal munificence for these purposes, Congress might, like many royal benefactors, misplace their munificence; might elevate sycophants, and be inattentive to men unfriendly to the views of Government …Annals of Congress Feb 7th,1792 Rep Page

They are not “liberals” or “progressives”. They are conniving Marxist parasites who use government force to steal and then enjoy the property which labor, business and investors have worked to create
The Spending Bill (H.R. 244) has passed the House

CLICK HERE for the roll-call vote documenting Republican members in the House who voted to adopt Senator Schumer’s spending bill proposals. Every one of these Republican House members should be challenged this coming election for giving the Democrat Leadership what they want while ignoring those who elected them.
And if this Bill passes the Senate and President Trump does not veto it, it will prove to Trump supporters he was all mouth and nothing more than another flimflam artist like Obama.
