Congress sends $9B spending cuts package to Trump’s desk after late-night House vote

FOX: Congress is officially sending a package detailing $9 billion in spending cuts to President Donald Trump’s desk, minutes after midnight on Friday.

The bill, called a “rescissions package,” was approved by the House of Representatives in a late-night 216 to 213 vote after intense debate between Republicans and Democrats. Just two Republicans, Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., and Mike Turner, R-Ohio, voted in opposition.

Friday was also the deadline for passing the legislation, otherwise the White House would be forced to re-obligate those funds as planned. more here

  1. I cut that much out of my budget every hour.

    And just like them, I didn’t have the money to spend in the first place.

    Come to think of it, I’ve been saving trillions my whole life.

    Damn I’m good. I should get a raise or something.
