Stimulus Bill Section 1105 -- Bureaucrat Slush Fund

One part of the proposed Stimulus Bill is section 1105, which provides that any funds allocated under the bill, instead of going back to the Treasury, would be retained by the agency in question and spent as they see fit, without the need for Congressional approval or public input.

Which means that any money not spent can be used any way the bureaucracy likes, and too bad if you don't like their decision.

This is the open, transparent government that was promised?

Here is a link to the text of the Stimulus Bill. Section 1105 provides:

Amounts that are not needed or cannot be used for the activity for which originally obligated may be deobligated and, notwithstanding the limitation on availability specified in subsection (a), reobligated for other activities that have received funding from the same account or appropriation in this Act.

Hey, you're just a resource to be exploited. Now shut up and get back to work.
