The Gateway Pundit discusses a new report from the Congressional Budget Office showing our government wasted over half a trillion dollars in funding for expired programs or unauthorized programs.
From the article:
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a report that went viral this weekend.
The report detailed that the federal government spent over half a trillion dollars on programs that expired last year without ever actually authorizing the funding.
About 2,500 expired appropriations made up the $516 billion. That is no way to run a government. From the CBO:
"CBO identified 1,264 authorizations of appropriations that expired before the beginning of fiscal year 2024 and 251 authorizations of appropriations that were set to expire by the end of fiscal year 2024.
"CBO estimates that $516 billion was appropriated for 2024 for activities with expired authorizations, which the agency identified for each House and Senate authorizing committee (Table 1) and appropriations subcommittee (Table 2).”
