Colorado’s Democrat U.S. Senators voted in favor of the $1.6 trillion omnibus paying out monthly bill devoid of a treatment in the world for all the pork shelling out it contained nor its effect on our $34 trillion personal debt.
The only preserving grace is that Bennet’s monthly bill to switch back the clocks to the 1970s welfare state was all over again tossed into the trash heap by his colleagues on each sides of the political aisle.
3 cheers for bipartisanship, and the demise of the co-termed boy or girl tax credit rating.
GOP leaders despatched a lump of coal to America’s young children this calendar year — they refused to even talk about a deal for children and firms.

The omnibus bill bundled 7,500 earmarks — the code term for wasteful, pork expending — with far more than 200 earmarks earmarked for Colorado by the Democrat delegation.
Topping that record — $4 million to get a Denver lodge for the homeless.
In addition to Bennet’s repeated failure to get welfare payout to some families with young children, his proposed reforms for H-2A farm worker also went nowhere this 12 months.
The omnibus bill passed the Senate with 68 in favor, 29 opposed.
