What I don't want to take the time to understand are things like why there are line items for the FBI, in the Iraq funding bill. Sure we can make a connection, but an agency like the FBI should be funded from a single soure with full justification for its activities. In the bill, funds were earmarked for the FBI without specific support on how the funds would be used. I don't want to understand this because the mmethod is flawed. Government is wasteful and this bill is an example why.

I also think the accounting for this spending, being "off budget" is a joke. Who is kidding who with this. so like I said it is full of b.s.
