Here's a politician telling you the truth. The Omnibus Bill is a pork-laden collection of wasteful spending that may not stand scrutiny on their own. Collectively, politicians look the other way so long as everyone gets a seat on the Omni-bus.

Don't blindly celebrate politicians "bringing home the bacon" because your $4 million project just cost Taxpayers $2.3 trillion. A bank wouldn't give credit to any of us who handled money like our government does.
Your taxes don't go up simply because we needed Covid relief. They go up because 435 lawmakers have to impress you with how much they can add to our debt of our great grandkids. As a nation, we don't actually have any of this money. Neither party cares.

We have to pay more attention. The credit card payment will come due at some point and there are not enough rich people to tax.
Finally, for now, don't you think it's odd that the leaders of these parties have been doing their jobs for 20-30 years and we keep having to get to Christmas deadlines to pass large, unread legislation? That's not a design flaw, it's a feature! They're playing all of us.
If, after 20 years on the job, you were still turning in sloppy and inefficient work product at the last minute... You would be fired with cause. If you're a member of Congress with that record, we name a bridge after you.
