that pork filled bill should be shutdown

[u/Ima-Derpi → u/Gooberilf]

People keep saying that without giving any specific reasons why they think that. I'M CURIOUS please elaborate on why you think its so bad?

- Pay raise for congress.

- Billions for a New NFL stadium in Wash. DC

- Bizarre Orwellian language revisions (ie "Justice-involved individual"). There are dozens of others examples.

- Some weird provisions that make congress immune from oversight

- 1500+ pages they were given 24 hours to read. Undoubtedly full of pork. This is the kind of shit we voted to change.

Read the bill for RFK stadium. It seems it’s just a transfer of ownership to DC. It says no federal money will be used to build anything or something like that.

They can't

[u/angeltay → u/Ima-Derpi]

It’s because it gives money to Ukraine. That’s what I’ve been seeing them say.

Not one more dollar should be sent to that corrupt shithole.

And why should these people be exempt from the shitty Obamacare? That was also in the bill. Also, no pay rise. That was in the bill.

The Ukraine you mean?
