Appropriations Update
Over the weekend we reported on the annual spending process getting into full swing. Well, it’s keepin’ on swingin’!
As I write the House is debating H.R. 2892, the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010. That bill spends about $450 per U.S. family on running the DHS.
The House has already passed H.R. 2847, the Commerce, Justice, Science spending bill. ($680 per U.S. family)
And the Department of Interior bill, H.R. 2996, is slated for this week too. It was just introduced Tuesday. It will spend about $330 per U.S. family.
Introduced and on the near horizon, Legislative Branch spending ($38.00) and the Agriculture Department (H.R. 2997 – $1,100).
You don’t have to just sit there staring at your computer, y’know!
