That idiot Biden signs $1.7 trillion government bankruptcy package

President Biden on Thursday signed the sprawling $1.7 trillion spending 
package to fund the government into next fall, wrapping up a year of 
several bipartisan legislative accomplishments for the president.

The president signed the package in St. Croix, where he is spending the 
New Year’s holiday with his family. The White House received the bill from 
Congress late afternoon on Wednesday, according to the White House, and 
the bill was brought to the U.S. Virgin Islands on Thursday.

The House passed the measure on Dec. 23, one day after the Senate approved 
it with a large bipartisan majority, 68-29. The House passed it largely 
along party lines in a 225-201-1 vote.

Biden last week signed a stopgap measure that Congress had passed to keep 
the government open past an earlier Dec. 23 deadline. The short-term bill, 
which moved the deadline to Dec. 30, was intended to allow time for the 
more than 4,000-page omnibus to make its way to Biden’s desk for his 
signature.

The massive package includes $45 billion in military and economic aid for 
Ukraine and $38 billion for emergency disaster assistance. It also 
includes reforms to the Electoral Count Act in response to the Jan. 6, 
2021, attack at the U.S. Capitol, clarifying that the vice president does 
not have the power to unilaterally overturn the results of a presidential 
election.

Biden hailed those provisions and others in a statement following the 
passage last week. He noted the package also includes funding for cancer 
research, to hire more police officers and for the Violence Against Women 
Act. He further touted its funding for the PACT Act, which he signed into 
law in August to expand health benefits to veterans exposed to toxic 
substances.

The spending bill is one of several major bipartisan legislative wins in 
Biden’s first two years in office. Others include the $1 trillion 
infrastructure law, the bipartisan gun law and the CHIPS and Science Act.

Note that The Hill says not a single fucking word about Biden lying to the 
voters about the massive tax increases in the bill.
