1. Mimicking college students congress has waited until the end of the semester to get any work done. Congress has crammed a year of work into two massive tax and spending bills. They're expected to pass later this week. Released in the middle of the night tuesday the bills dictate how the government will spend $1.1 trillion dollars.They also dictate new policy for cybersecurity, oil exports, and suspend some obamacare taxes. They've also made sure sledding on capital hill is okay. Republicans have "tried" to repeal obama care and failed. So the GOP has settled for compromise and suspended two key taxes in obamacare. Republicans have pushed to get rid of the 40 year old oil export ban. Dark money will stay dark. Cybersecurity is getting a part. The world trade center responder program is reauthorized. McCain is fired up over missiles. And people are allowed to ride on top of sloped snow piles on public property.
2. First off I liked the joke about college students. Who knew mainstream media could be funny on purpose. Second I'm glad, or mad, actually I don't know. Anyway I feel a way that would likely be called amused disgust about congress spending so much time on only two bills. I don't think they have the right to make bills at all but who am I to claim people in government don't actually have superhuman god like priveledges? Also $1.1 trillion? Really? Whatever, the way I see it the more the government spends the closer we are to a collapse and the closer we are to socialists either breaking out of their deluded nightmare realities or starving. Republicans didn't try to repeal obama care. It's a show to appease the conservatives. They know they can't win so why would they actually try? And even if they did try they would've came to about the same conclusion since moderate republicans are blind old dogs who'll roll over if you drop a fork on the floor. I don't really care about economic regulations, dark money, or cybersecurity. I'm glad people are allowed to go on public property and use it for non violent public purposes finally. Jeez...
3. This relates to our unit because it's about congress which is in the legislative branch of the government.
