The two most expensive bills signed into law were the National Defense Authorization Act, which calls for $276 million in mandatory spending over five years...
From Sec. 8 of the US Constitution: "...To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;

and the education law known as the "No Child Left Behind Act," which will cost taxpayers $135 billion over the next five years.
I'm still looking for the provision that empowers the federal government to spend money on education.

It'salmosttolate, it's too late.

If we don't fund what Clinton wanted to give Israel ($800 million) for one year. we can save ourselves $392 million.

I'll bet the study didn't come up with that little fact.
