Time to write your congresscritters - this looks like a bloated pork-filled bill. From The Hill:
All eyes on Paul with shutdown looming
As the Senate barrels toward the third government funding deadline of the year, Republicans appear in the dark about one key question: What will Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) do?
The libertarian-minded senator caused an hours-long shutdown in February. He's yet to say if he'll give a repeat performance going into the midnight Friday deadline to avoid a partial closure.
"Shame, shame. A pox on both Houses — and parties. $1.3 trillion. Busts budget caps. 2200 pages, with just hours to try to read it," he tweeted on Thursday.
They are trying to rush this through as fast as possible. 2,200 pages and $1.3 Trillion dollars (PDF) of our tax money being spent on earmarks and pork. Let the government shut down - it has done so before with no harm. Hold them accountable.
