Well, it’s been quite a while since I’ve run up me semaphores, but watching the news this morning really shivered me timbers! There’s a storm risin’ fer sure!

Congress is Addicted to Spending YOUR Money

The 2018 Consolidated Appropriations Act (Omnibus)

April 15, 2018

The $1.3 trillion 2018 “Omnibus Spending Bill” officially became the “Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA) of 2018” when it was signed into law by President Donald Trump on March 23, 2018.
