While your were sleeping, our gutless wonders in congress voted for a budget-busting, liberal wish list omnibus spending bill. Here’s Ted Cruz on why it sucks:
In 2016, the American people voted overwhelmingly for Republicans to change Washington.

The disastrous elements of this bill are almost too numerous to list.

It continues to fund sanctuary cities, which are defying law & making Americans less safe. Instead of rewarding sanctuary cities, we should be passing legislation like Kate’s Law, a bill I introduced to put criminal illegal aliens in jail so they can't prey on innocent Americans.

It fails to provide sufficient funds to properly secure our border, let alone build the wall that is necessary.

It funds the Ex-Im Bank, a classic example of corporate welfare that has doled out over $100 billion in taxpayer-guaranteed loans, primarily to a handful of giant and well-connected corporations.

All of these measures amount to piling even greater debt onto the backs of our kids and grandkids, all because we are incapable of living within our means.

A few tweets describing how the bill could have sucked even more if Cruz and other conservatives hadn’t successfully stripped out even worse provision (like an Internet sales tax) omitted.
Washington is failing the American people, but I will continue to fight for a better path, one that respects the will of the American people, who sent us here to fight for fiscal sanity.

President Donald Trump should veto this monstrosity and demand Republican congressional leadership restore the priorities America voted for in 2016.
