The obvious bad is the increased spending, showing that the GOP never has been and will never be serious about the debt, the deficit, etc etc. This is issue has festered our entire adulthood. Sorry budget hawks, no one cares. No one. Including Trump.
Aside from the spending, which should be taken as read, there's lots to like.
-$70 billion for defense
-$1.6 for the wall
-Nothing on DACA and DIMers (Descendants of Illegal Migrants)
-No Obamacare subsidies
Is it a great deal? No. The bigger issue is DACA and DIMs. The wall gets started, the Dems will have to explain to their constituents why the wall gets billions but the DIMs get nothing. Trump is in an even better negotiating position than before.
Hasn't anyone ever read The Art of the Deal?
So we're pretty happy with what we have here. Also, we're taking a family trip to DC next week, and we would have been pissed if the government was shutdown.
