It's bushco's program.
THEY run it.

its simpler than that

the treasury is part of the executive they have to get permission to
spend money from congress but actually spending the money is done
with the presidents authority who decides exactly what to spend and
when and who to pay and usually congress leaves many details
unspecified which the president makes specific

so if there is disgruntlement on how money is being spent until 20
jan 2009 its all up to shrub

the only real responsibility that can be laid on congress is if
they dont authorize enough spending

Treasury spent about 3 TRILLION not
authorized by congress IIRC. So far as best I can tell.

Just remember you wrote that when Obama starts tripping all over his dick
