Friday morning, the House of Representatives passed a major budget deal into law, one that they’d been working on for months. The final vote tally was 240 to 186, but no matter the numbers, this steaming pile of legislation sent a message to disappointed Tea Party activists: stop being so naïve.

Democrats, in a quintessential act of hypocrisy (I repeat myself when I use “Democrat” and “hypocrisy” in the same sentence), didn’t make a peep about a trillion dollars. These are the same people who were so worried about budget deficits they shut down the government a few weeks ago. That’s because the great silencer – pork — was there aplenty: domestic spending is up by billions. My son is a Marine, so I’m pleased with money spent to make sure we have the best-equipped, prepared fighting force on earth. The rest of the legislation, however, makes me want to vomit.

Republicans, many of whom were elected on a platform of limited government and fiscal responsibility, didn’t keep their campaign promises. The “radical” Freedom Caucus actually did, and these Tea Party-respecting congressmen are despised in D.C. for doing so.

Behold, the state of politics today. The heated, polarizing rhetoric of both parties pushes their bases further apart than ever. But, when it comes to spending trillions of taxpayer dollars, bipartisanship reigns supreme in the swamp.
