> Taxpayers, however, require accountability for the taxes they pay in a functioning democratic republic.
Accountability to taxpayers is a really weird excuse for bypassing Congress on changes in whether and how money Congress has directed with law is actually spent.
And by “weird” I mean really “war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength”-level abuse of language.
They're just angry because sometimes people in Congress spend money on things they don't like in places they've never been to to serve constituencies they're not part of. And they look at the $4/month or whatever that that costs and they would rather have the extra cup of coffee than see bags of food go to Africa or Gaza.
