The $1 Trillion
Omnibus Spending Bill Is Out: Now Find Out What's In It
January 14, 2014
Late
yesterday,
Washington lawmakers dropped a massive, 1,582-page spending bill that
will fund the entire government for fiscal year 2014.
Known as the omnibus
spending bill, the gigantic legislative text works off a budget deal
that set spending at $1.012 trillion—$45
billion more than previous spending caps that were agreed upon by a
bipartisan majority in 2011.
In other words, your tax
dollars will fund this bloated spending bill, which adds to the nation’s debt of $17 trillion.
With
so much at stake,
The Foundry has posted the actual bill for you to read. Last night and
into the early hours of this morning, Heritage’s team of policy experts
combed through the bill to produce this comprehensive analysis. It
highlights the pork projects, ineffective government programs, and
giveaways for
corporate cronies included in the omnibus.
