$82 billion of your tax money is going to...
It started out as a bill to approve supplemental funding for troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, but lookee what else got tacked onto this spending bill:
..."The bill also:
Adds uniform requirements for driver's licenses aka "Real ID".
Toughens asylum laws.
Grants the Homeland Security secretary authority to complete a fence on the California-Mexico border and build other border barriers.
Prohibits the United States from providing assistance to organizations that have not adopted international standards and penalties to prevent the sexual exploitation and abuses of international disaster victims.
Requires federal agencies to include disclaimers on video news releases to clarify that they were prepared at taxpayer expense. (They should start with the Prez' meetings with "selected citizens" when he's trying to sell his Social Security reform plan). ..."
Why can't the Senate and Congress just pass bills without tacking things onto it that have no relation to the original bill? Isn't that deceptive legislation? I'm surprised they didn't add in a kitchen sink and a partidge in a pear tree for good measure.
