This bill spends an extra $20.8 billion because the negotiators were more interested in saving face than saving money. The taxpayers will pay the multibillion dollar price for this "oneforme and oneforyou" final agreement. The fine print isnt any prettier: another $1 billion for a star warslike missile defense system that wont work. $6.8 billion in supplemental defense spending on top of the $271 billion already appropriated through the regular process. the repeal of the taxexempt status of the National Education Association to get even with teachers who have been supportive of Democratic priorities on education. an increase in the number of H1B visas so that high tech companies can import cheap labor rather than train US workers. a ban on needle exchange programs in the District of Columbia in spite of all the studies showing that such programs save lives. a moratorium on federal regulations designed to allocate organs fairly in contrast to todays gerrymandered allocation system that needlessly costs lives. I can count noses and see that this bill will pass. However.
