Well with a post like this you are just talking stupid, pardon my French.

The legislative branch cannot legally obligate spending, and it absolutely can't lead to anything being spent. That's just the entirely wrong branch of government. It's just entirely wrong based on how the US government is set up to function.

But yes, a whole lot of politicians are lying about how it works, and you seem to be promoting those lies. Congratulations. You are being used as a tool of liars.
I'm using harsh words right now because this is a harsh situation.
Those liars need to be called out for misleading the public; their lies should not be promoted.
