According to an article in the Federal News Network written by Jory Heckman the U.S. wants to spend 1.5 TRILLION DOLLARS of your tax dollars.
“Congress, nearly halfway through the fiscal year, is unveiling a $1.5 trillion comprehensive spending deal for the rest of fiscal 2022.
The House and Senate appropriations committees released the FY 2022 spending package Wednesday. The House passed the package — after a separate vote that modified it to add funding for defense assistance to Ukraine and reduced funding to combat COVID-19 — on Thursday night. The measure now goes to the Senate.
Congress passed several stopgap CRs this fiscal year to avoid a government shutdown, and lawmakers haven’t passed a budget deal on time in many years.
“It is unquestionably in the interest of the American people that the House and the Senate act quickly to pass this bill and send it to the president,” Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) said in a statement Wednesday.”
