Washington, DC, has long been the stage for ghoulish fiscal horror, but a recent report by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) shows just how dire the unchecked spending situation has become. The report, titled “Expired and Expiring Authorizations of Appropriations for Fiscal Year 2024,” reveals a staggering $516 billion in appropriations tied to expired authorizations – programs legally dead but still consuming resources and dragging taxpayers along as unwilling victims.
Nearly two-thirds of this $516 billion – $320 billion, to be precise – funds programs whose authorizations expired more than a decade ago. According to the CBO, 49% of the acts tied to this funding have been expired for over ten years. These aren’t harmless oversights. As investigative journalist Jeremy Portnoy put it, they’re fiscal zombies – rotting relics of bad governance.
Where Do the Zombies Feast?
The real horror isn’t just the expired authorizations; it’s what happens to the money. Once appropriated, these funds vanish into the shadowy executive branch labyrinth, where often they’re repurposed – Washington’s favorite euphemism, meaning the money is redirected without oversight.
Under the Biden-Harris administration, were these funds quietly returned to the Treasury or did they go to padding bureaucratic budgets, bloated climate initiatives, or ideological experiments disguised as “equity” programs? It’s as if zombies were handed a blank check and invited to snack freely on taxpayer dollars, while Congress refused to ask what’s on the menu.
Let’s not let Congress off the hook, either. The undead appropriations shuffle along because lawmakers lack the courage to kill them. Sunsetting expired authorizations would require Congress to do something radical: read bills, conduct audits, and make tough decisions. But in Washington, punting the problem down the road is always easier than risking political fallout by cutting even the most absurd programs. […]

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
