The word "discretionary" when used to describe various parts of the federal budget always has me a bit confused. Isn't it all discretionary? Couldn't Congress vote to change any of it tomorrow?
Budget puzzle: "In fiscal year 2007, the federal government spent $2.7 trillion. In 2010, the federal government spent about $3.7 trillion. Obama is proposing to spend that amount next year."
