It takes all 3 branches to spend money ***** not just the house duhIgnorance does not make people look smart. Ignorance and misrepresentations of facts exposes the flaws in those given over to those suffering from the handicap. Presidents are not authorized to budget the spending of US money, the US House budgets the spending, and the President must either sign the proposals or not, depending on how greatly he wants to achieve bipartisanship on spending issues.
Here are the spending increases by the House by year with the political party in power over the House at the time overseeing the budgeting:
2000 - R $5,674 55% 2001 - R $5,807 55% 2002 - R $6,228 57% 2003 - R $6,783 59% 2004 - R $7,379 60% 2005 - R $7,933 61% 2006 - R $8,507 61% 2007 - D $9,008 62% 2008 - D $10,025 68% 2009 - D $11,910 82% 2010 - D $13,562 90% 2011 - D $14,790 95% 2012 - R $16,066 99% 2013 - R $16,738 99% 2014 - R $17,824 101% 2015 - R $18,151 100% 2016 - R $19,573 105% 2017 - R $20,245 104% 2018 - R $21,516 105% 2019 - R $22,719 107% 2020 - R $27,748 129% 2021 - D $29,617 124% 2022 - D $30,824 123%
