Maya MacGuineas president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Using Gimmicks to Pass a Spending Bill that Busts Budget Limits Is Reckless and Fiscally Irresponsible. The House of Representatives is considering a so-called
“minibus” spending bill combining the defense, military construction, veterans, legislative branch and energy and water appropriations bills. The bill would provide $614.1 billion in regular funding for defense, $65 billion in excess of the $549 billion defense spending limit established by the Budget Control Act. There are additional defense programs that will be included in other appropriations bills, which totaled $7.3 billion in fiscal year 2017.
