Girl: Why are all the heads bitten off the chocolate bunnies?
CONGRESS
Congress Bunny: Sorry...that's what's left from the sequester.
1st Budget in 4 Yrs.
Being an accountant and an analyst and looking to always keep things as simple as possible, I can only hope someone can answer these questions (logically) for me.
Since the sequester was implemented as a reduction in next years spending increase, how does that affect current spending?*Since the core spending for next years budget is actually going to increase, how does that affect either current or base spending for next year?*These aren’t trick questions. As I have understood it, in decades of professional practice, budget cuts means you take the core budget spending and reduce it. I know that government has their own Kabuki style accounting, I’ve had to work with it in the past. Compared to normal GAAP it is a work of fantasy. So I would greatly appreciate it if someone could answer the above questions so I can wrap my aging mind around this new concept.
This year’s Easter Egg Roll at the White House is funded by private donations and the sale of hardwood eggs.The eggs have The President’s and The First Lady’s stamped signature.If you buy the set you also get an egg signed by Bo.
@mickey1339hope this helps. and I hope that someone can answer my congressional budget question as well. there are two lines in the budget that don’t get added in and no one looks at in the arithmetic. they are the lines for:1.Graftand2. corruption.no perhaps you can answer a question for me. How can our representatives who make about 150k per year, retire from congress with 10’s of millions of dollars in the bank?
