[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4055968, member: 5412"] That's government funding policy in general. Every department puts in a budget. It never goes down and follows the inflation or worse. When the money comes in, they have to spend it or it never comes back in the next appropriation bill. It's insane but that is how government money works. Example: When I was stationed at Ft Leavenworth Ks, they got several million dollars for roof repair of the main military buildings, not the base housing which needed attention. Ft Leavenworth is kind of designed like buildings in Italy with red tile roofs that last forever. They had the money and had to spend it. So, they hired contractors to remove the tiles, contractors to hand brush the red tiles and another contractor to install the tiles back on the roofs of the buildings. Money spent, and the next allocation will be used for something else wasteful. Who knows what? [/QUOTE]
