Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Real question - what happens if an agency is "over budget"? Is there any real mechanism for telling her that her bills won't be paid? I doubt it, so where do the unauthorized funds come from? A budget is theoretical but invoices are real.

They'll steal the money from another department with lame accounting practices.

Or they'll call it "current policy" (like they did with the big tax cut extension) and claim it costs nothing. I'm thinking of going down to my bank and telling them that my current policy is to have at least two thousand dollars in my check account, but I just took out fifteen houndred and feel that based on current policy I feel that my balance is still two thousand. I'm figuring on wearing my fish slap mask on that visit.

Besides being an outright lie, do they really truly want to declare war on half the country? It won't end well.
