As much as the recent partisan passage
of the tax bill has been reviled, there was a recent defense budget that
passed where, in a bi-partisan effort, the Senate gave Trump 60 billion more than
he even asked for to expand and maintain the violent US Empire. Passing
88-8, the Senate was apparently worried that War Profiteers wouldn't
have a Merry Christmas unless their corporate welfare was expanded.
