1) What did the Republicans in the House do to stop this “discretionary” spending by the president? The answer is nothing. They caved and gave him everything he wanted. So why the fake outrage?
2) Most of the “research” money mentioned is going to reward the academics who are indoctrinating our youth in the progressive agenda.
3) Congress years ago abdicated its oversight responsibility by appropriate huge sums of money to departments and giving the bureaucracy discretion over how the funds would be spent. Return to a line item budget and require the President to come to Congress for emergency appropriations when there is a real emergency.
4) I am convinced the budget can be balanced anytime Congress wishes. In the private sector, when a company is in trouble new management is brought in to cut spending to the bone. The organization is downsized to live within its means and the priorities of the organization are reduced to be achievable within the resources available. All of the projects and programs not critical to the survival of the organization are eliminated. This has never been tried with the federal government, at least in my lifetime.
