Those of us that understand the dis-ingenuousness of politicians who
promise but never deliver are seeing once again the Congress has passed
a six month budget that will cost us more than $1 trillion, 'funded' with
debt and will not address important issues that will now have to wait
until 2020 when another budget will be due!

Three key campaign issues of President Trump, defunding of Planned
Parenthood and sanctuary cities, and building the wall on the Southern
border are not included in this budget, and to the satisfaction of most
Democrats and half the Republicans that couldn't care less about the
president's promise to the people that elected him.

Even one issue Democrats say are deeply concerned about, 'Dreamers',
DACA children are also not protected, even though it really doesn't hurt
their cause as until legislation is written they're here to stay and 'chain'
of relatives also will not be deported.

This was enough to warrant a presidential veto which did not occur, but
will it be enough to give Democrats a Congressional majority in November?

What else is in this legislative concoction? The following are requests from
the Trump Administration which were rejected.
the Trump Administration which were rejected.
1. No increase in the number of ICE ( Immigration and Customs Enforcement)
2. Detention centers for apprehended illegals are not being increased.
3. Sanctuary cities will continue to be funded.
4. Only 33 miles of new fencing on the Texas border will be funded, none
may resemble the wall prototypes being tested.

5. Funding to enhance border security of nations in conflict in the Middle
East, not here in the United States.

6. African Development Foundation, Corporation for National Community Service, Corporation for Public Broadcasting ALL will receive funding.
7. The National Endowment for the Arts & Humanities did get a cut, $1000
less than the combined $300 million received in previous budget!

8. Woodrow Wilson Center, a "think tank" receives $12 million.
9. Planned Parenthood gets $500 million a year.
Many organizations on this list are self sustaining, pay their executives and employees handsomely, yet each year they grovel to Congress for more
funding, all indifferent to the great debt taxpayers carry.
We can only conclude the Republican leadership prefers to cower to the
interests of Washington lobbyists than the people that elect them.
