TCS talks about the federal budget
An interesting article from Taxpayers for Common Sense:
Congress has been pretty busy recently. In the last six months, they have run for reelection and have spent at least $1.5 trillion attempting to reverse our nation’s economic decline. After they get back from this week’s recess, they are poised to finally finish a massive spending bill left over from last year.
Fresh off of passing one of the largest, most expensive bills in history, the House next week will take up a $410 billion omnibus spending bill. The legislation combines the nine remaining spending bills for fiscal 2009 that the Congress punted on before the election. These spending bills are necessary to keep the lights on and the government running through next year. Read the full story.
