 Here's a link to the Senate Democrats' proposed 2,000-paged omnibus spending bill...


 Sen McCain tweets
Appropriators announced a $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill full of outrageous/wasteful earmarks – what a disgrace!
I filed my amendment today to eliminate all funding for earmarks in the omnibus spending bill.
Heading 2 the floor 2 talk about the $1.1 Trillion 1924 page omnibus spending bill that includes 6488 earmarks totaling nearly $8.3 billion
Stand by for the top 10 pork barrel projects from the 1,924 page, $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill
#10. $247,000 – Virus free wine grapes in Washington State

Sen. DeMint:Tweets
Ignoring the Nov. elections, Democrats just introduced a $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill stuffed with thousands of earmarks.
Dems want to ram through the 1,924 page spending bill before Christmas, but I'll join w/ other GOP to make them read it on the Senate floor.
According to @Senate_RPC, omnibus spending bill contains over $1 billion to implement the unconstitutional Obamacare law


Senate GOP Comes Out Swinging Against Omnibus

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) denounced Democrats’ sweeping one-year omnibus spending bill introduced Tuesday, saying he will “vigorously oppose” it despite the inclusion of millions in earmarks he had requested.

Senator Reid is apparently going repeat what he did last Christmas: jam through a 2000 page bill that no one has had time to read, debate, or offer amendments on, which costs $1.2 trillion! Worked so well with HC bill.
