Never heard an Omnibus is not the budget.. Been gov’t accountant for almost 30 years and always treated omnibus like a regular budget and rules of appropriation law.. funds can only be obligated according to time, amount and purpose.
Yep.
This discussion went on for some time earlier today. Basically the omnibus is one third of the total budget. The budget has accountability. IT is a detailed plan. THink Dave Ramsey The Omnibus is a place saver tying together different areas to one area — a need to fund. It’s like your pocketbook. Money there you spend at your own discretion
Except when there is a mater of National Security. Then the rules are set aide.
