he 2022 Omnibus Appropriations Bill, which contains funding allocations for every federal department and program, is overbearing and ridiculous. The bill is packed with surprises, from the funding of unconstitutional agencies to the funding of provisions that have nothing to do with keeping the government running. While there are certainly some good aspects to the bill, it's full of pork barrel spending that does nothing to help the American people.
In today’s episode of the Pod Bless America Podcast, Jim and Dan talk about the 2022 Omnibus Appropriations Bill. They will discuss how the $1.5 trillion dollar fund will be used, why the Omnibus package is overbearing and ridiculous, as well as the unconstitutional agencies included in the bill.
