You don't prepare and approve a budget without itemizing every expenditure, every line item, down to the penny.

Elizabeth Preza reports on yet another example of Trump administration and GOP incompetence:
A stunning report in the Washington Post on Saturday reveals aides for President Donald Trump are running into “logistical challenges” surrounding how the U.S. military can spend “a whopping $500 billion in their forthcoming budget.”
According to four people who spoke with the Post, after Trump “agreed to a roughly 50 percent funding boost sought by” Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, White House aides and defense officials struggled with "where to put the money, because the amount is so large.” Per the Post, “The White House is more than two weeks behind its statutory deadline to send its budget proposal to Congress, in part because it is unclear how precisely to spend the additional $500 billion.”
