Federal spending is one area where Bush has never been "my" President.
Congress spends the money.
Everyone got $2000. Then they got $2400 for three month rent subsidy. ( They are entitled to 18 mo free rent). The rent subsidy only cost $2b. Now $9b for Medicaid. You wonder why medical insurance is expensive. Ask the legislators. My Medicare HMO costs more than my monthly check and now includes free health club membership called Silver Sneakers.
That's a pretty important area...
