Continuing Appropriations

How to spend BILLIONS in 45 days.

Brief Summary of Federal

This should be a fairly limited bills area for management the overall structures like highways, military, federal buildings, federal laws, and the like. However it has become the micro manager of all micro managers. They get involved in areas that no federal government should be involved in, and shift more power upward. This has led to each party trying to run over the other party in the eyes of the voters, all the while doing everything possible to maintain their power. They do this by holding onto all of the money, and claiming they know best how it should be spent. But they run debts so badly that no one should be looking to them as an example of anything other than the way to overspend and go further into debt.

Continuing Appropriations Summary

There are a myriad of items funded here. I am sure some must be funded - things like paying the military, paying the Social security benefits (which I could write and write about), paying Federal employees, paying for rent/mortgages on Federal buildings, paying for on-going construction/maintenance contracts. All of these I readily understand. I am sure I missed some. But some items that are funded are not necessary at this time. We don't need to pay for everything in the world. Of course, I don't believe that some of the items should be funded at all.
