here dumbasses, the budget as passed in 2007 BEFORE budget amendments and supplentals
here are the outlays
Budget of the United States Government: Budget Amendments and Supplementals 109th Congress, 2d Session
as part of the final deficit with all supplements and amendments here
Budget of the United States Government: Browse Fiscal Year 2007
why is the 50B for "anticipated spending listed in the proposed budget important? Because the difference between the 489B authorized and the 528B soend is 39B which if you add the 50B to you get 89B which was the portion of the 98B appropriated to the DoD in the supplemental, and you can read for yourself in the supplemental how that 50B was not even new spending but was just extending SPECIFIC authority to actually spend the allready authorized (50B) but not speciffically appropriated funds.
Need more?
Compare the 110B originally appropriated for military personel to the 127B actually spent (green). the difference 17B is exactly what was appropriated for additional pay in the supplemental. Thats how it works, supplemental spending is ADDED to current budget authority in the computation of FINAL deficit numbers and anyone who says it's not is LYING to you. It is "off budget" for planning and projection purposes but "on budget" for final computation. If DoD is only given 110B in spending authority for military pay, thats all they can spend unless a supplemental is passed to increase the amount. If they're only appropriated 489B they cannot spend 528B unless the money is appropriated in a supplemental. Your fucking progressive leaders are, as usual, lying to your stupid asses.
