Reports out of Washington D.C. indicate that congressional Republicans and Democrats have reached an agreement on the nation’s budget. The bill is both a major accomplishment for the Trump administration and a bit of a defeat.
The agreement comes after the legislature was forced to pass a temporary spending bill last week to avoid a government shutdown. The delay was widely attributed to ongoing discussions surrounding Trump’s border wall. While the administration wanted funding for the construction project included in the legislation, opposition from Democrats made its inclusion unlikely. Even some Republicans laughed at the prospect of funding the wall.
But now the agreement is in. Reports about the new legislation include details regarding the wall, the military, and the more mundane functions of the federal government.

Hopefully someone will mention that this budget was the Obama fiscal 2017 budget that was never approved in 2016. The 2018 budget which comes in Donald Trumps first year is not due for signing until the Fourth Quarter of 2017.
Trump don’t sign it. Let all.these bastards take the blame. Im not working my$#%&!@*off to fund planned parent hood and cities that harbor illegals
Can’t believe it takes 1 trillion to run the gov. for a few months. Spend less, owe less.
Shut it down & reevaluate
