$1.1 Trillion Spending Bill

According to the Washington Times, the House passed a $1.1 trillion spending bill. Too much! We will see what the Senate does with it, but Obama seems to be in favor of it and will probably sign it.
I'm hoping that Speaker Boehner is following a suggestion that either originated from other sources or was my contribution. That is, pass the major bill and then come back in January and piecemeal out all of the ridiculous pork and giveaways to Democrats, when both the House and Senate have a substantial Republican majority over the present Congress.
I have my fingers crossed, because of Congress's past record. Let's remember, that we didn't get into an $18 trillion national debt without substantial input from the Congress, both Republicans and Democrats.
If the Republicans don't straighten out this spending bill in January when they have much improved majority in the Congress, we can look forward to another revolt in the 2016 elections, at which time many of us will be attempting to throw out the Republican leadership and go to Libertarians, Tea Party or whatever else is left.
