Amazing! Where is that money ending up?
Anyway, since there are rules against it, Trump needs to impound these funds, let them sue him.
Make the Supreme Court tell the American people why the President is not faithfully executing the laws when he impounds monies that are spent on programs with expired authorizations and in violation of rules that say such monies cannot be authorized.
Trump will be on solid legal ground.

CONGRESS FUNNELED $516 BILLION INTO EXPIRED PROGRAMS WITH ZERO OVERSIGHT IN 2024
The CBO just revealed that Congress spent $516 billion in 2024 on programs with expired authorizations, some dating back over 40 years.
Despite rules against funding unauthorized programs, lawmakers ignored them—letting billions flow without updated approvals or oversight.
Even worse, 251 more authorizations are set to expire this year, including $892 billion in defense spending, yet Congress keeps writing blank checks.
This isn't governance—it's corruption. Congress is recklessly burning taxpayer money on programs they haven't even bothered to approve.
