Today's budget signing in a single picture

If you're celebrating this as something to bash the President with, you're part of the problem.  He accepted what Congress gave him and has forced them to own it.

The budget process is broken.  We haven't had a real budget, by the rules, since 1996.  TWENTY-TWO YEARS.  Nearly as long as some of fellow board members have been alive.  Certainly since they were too young to even know about it.

Hopefully this shines the light on our broken budget and process.  The current Congressional establishment has zero concern about the deficit or spending.  They'll spend whatever it takes to get votes.  They even gave themselves a raise as well as part of this.

Vote them all out.  All of them.  Keep only those willing to form a responsible budget.

What's good is perhaps now this becomes a wakeup call to every single American and shines the light on spending and irresponsible budgets.  Trump says this is the last one he'll sign.  We all can only hope he keeps his word.
He should have used the  Veto power and sent those lobbyists inspired Congress members (drain the swamp) explaining themselves to the American people.
