They have like an extra 150 billion last year they are spending as we speak, with no guidelines on it, so they have plenty. This year they want to give them 1.5 trillion even, just incredible fiscal restraint form the responsible party of fiscal discipline!
What a joke, extracting money from the federal government is like the main reason for being of almost all of these lawmakers. Get in, sell out, extract all you can, accrue favors and bribes and what have you, get out. Then when out if they sell out well they can lobby, or run an institute, or any number of other corrupt positions that are part of paying off lawmakers to pay off monied interests.
To be fair probably not a bad op sec idea. I'm sure if they made it a formal security idea, they would get funding for it. As long as the pizza doesn't go to waste.
