President Barack Obama has officially announced that he would sign the CRomnibus bill, which contains a ton of Republican-backed special interest riders that, among other things, makes it easier banks that receive taxpayer money to speculate with the people's money, undermines the District of Columbia's marijuana legalization law, cuts funding from Pell grant programs and gives it to student loan debt collectors, makes it easier for rich people to buy elections, and cuts funding to many government programs, if it were to be passed by Congress.
President Obama has proven, once and for all, that he doesn't give a fuck about the progressives who voted him into office twice. If Obama were to sign the bill into law, he would be effectively signing into law a big chunk of the Republicans' far-right, anti-worker, anti-middle class, anti-poor, anti-environment, anti-local control, and anti-common sense agenda.
This sellout by Obama is even worse Obama proposing cutting Social Security benefits by proposing Chained CPI, and that was a downright horrible decision by Obama.
