I'll try one more time, an allocation is the practice of setting apart a portion of the total amount of money appropriated in this act. Surely a man of your stature knows a legislator from your district, get him to expain it to you. But, don't let him know you think we've had a federal budget during the last 3 years or he'll think you're joking. Apart from that, of the emphasized portion of my post, "and the other departments and agencies of the Government", I would have thought you'd realize I put that part in there for a reason. Obviously it's not just for the military, but that is the biggest reason for it.

Good luck on getting RV to acknowledge that he has lost this debate. It won't happen no matter how overwhelming the facts are.

Here is a video of that braintrust of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Shultz demagoguing this issue of FNC. You would think that if the U.S. Senate had passed a budget, the DNC Chairperson would say so. Instead, she blames Republicans for the Senate's failure to vote on Obama's budget, despite her party having all of the votes that they need to pass it. Pretty funny stuff - DWS can always be counted on for a good laugh - but to her credit, she did not lie by claiming that the Senate had passed its own budget.
