With this bill there's no funding for the wall nor a comprehensive immigration reform, as for economy, well the markets run wild but to see the effect on the actual middle class, too early to see that.

But the most disturbing part is increasing the armed forces budget, while it's been a proven way to send some government money to local contractors, one has to ask what's been cooked behind the scenes. How was this so important that a bill like this could ever be accepted, and what's the trade off.

All and all, with signing this, he might have just lost the 2020.
They even snuck in a bill to fuck over professional baseball players. It will allow the MLB to pay unsigned players as seasonal worker's..

That was obviously something Congress needed to write a law about.
