Ugh. I followed the link in your post to the report. (Thanks for posting it BTW.) I must say that I found the exercise of reading through the "appropriations" section to be nauseating. In various little (2-3 sentence) paragraphs filled with meaningless government buzzwords, millions and billions of OUR dollars are doled out to various entities that have failed miserably from their inception, or to new entities that will be established to further build-out the beast. How many times do we see the phrase: "to remain available until expended." IOW, don't worry if you can't spend it fast enough, it will still be there to spend.
I do not understand how the act of that prior congress can establish these fiscal burdens for years into the future. (I always thought that there was something about one congress not being able to assume appropriations for a future congress? Maybe that was wishful thinking on my part?) It is disgusting. As a matter of fact, it appears that $105 billion is the minimum amount since I see that the (new) PPHF is established and "appropriates amounts to the fund in perpetuity." (All this at a clip of "FY2015 and each fiscal year thereafter = $2 billion.") WTF?
You are correct, this monstrosity must be REPEALED in total. None of it can be allowed to stand.
My further chilling thought as I type this, I suspect that there are scores of similar legislative pieces that have done the same in terms of cavalier misappropriation for unconstitutional purposes. Is it any wonder that we find our "government" operating at such obscene levels of deficient spending that are growing larger with each passing month and year.
My education and studies taught me that no Congress can obligate a future congress to appropriate anything. I understand that “entitlements” do not need annual appropriations, bur one congress cannot obligate future congresses. In the Government contracting world, congress created a special category of contract titled “MultiYear Contract” but since future congresses will have to vote annually on whether that program gets more funds, what happens is that each year there has to be an amount obligated for termination fees to pay the contractor for termination in case the future congress refuses to fund it.
