Let me see if I understand this correctly: the Legislative branch controls the purse strings but the people that are supposed to control the purse strings don't know how much we've spent?!?

And the head of OMB is refusing to tell Congress how much the Executive branch is spending on its unauthorized war?

I've heard we have as many as 50,000 troops in boats, just floating around out there for a war Mango Mussolini says is over.

A war in which he needs billions more of our tax payer dollars to pay for the war he says is over.

Sorry, as a tax payer I take great exception to all of this.

Congress is full of a bunch of bootlicking, spineless politicians that are cheering the downfall of this nation to satisfy the ego of an 80 yr old narcissistic madman.
