Yeah I saw that buffet on a TV News report. They sure don’t have a problem spending money. Our money.

Yup. You know that when they do something (build, buy, whatever) and they say - no appropriated funds were used or no further appropriations were made for this, those funds came back to the Treasury as expired, unused funds from another agency. Under the law, those funds have to go back to Treasury if they're not used for their original intent. Congress can raid those funds, and not appropriate any further funding, to build or buy stuff for themselves.

There's not even a thought to pay down the debt, or return it to taxpayers, just spend it anyway.
