These programs are especially important to the region's older veterans. Unrealistic budget caps. The overall spending bill, which I voted against because of its false spirit, will do more harm to veterans, low-income families, and scientific discovery now and in the future. The bill passed by a narrow margin. Too many members are willing to believe they can still stick to our unrealistic spending caps.
Flexibility is key to budgetary survival.
Here's a hypothetical situation. You set personal budget for yourself over a time period. Unfortunately, your plan didn't take into account your children's growth spurts and now they need new clothes, or your grandmother needs a live in nurse. After some consideration you adjust your budget to handle these costs because it is the right thing to do. Congress needs to take a page from the American family notebook of personal finance and be flexible enough to take care of our children, parents, and grandparents.
