Appropriation Bills

It is time to properly fund the federal gov't by returning to (the historical) Appropriation Bills. These spending measures should be presented, debated, and voted on. My suggested order to address the twelve appropriation bills:

First	Legislative Branch	As bills first require congressional approval …
Second	Financial Services and   General Gov't	Treasury, Office of the President, operations of Washington, DC, and federal courts are constitutionally required.
Third & Fourth	Defense	Further appropriations for Veterans Affairs and military construction should be included in this appropriation bill. This will eliminate one appropriation bill.
Fifth	A re–evaluation of Homeland Security	The nature of Defense should secure the homeland, right? I see an agency dissolved and one less appropriation bill.
Sixth	State and Foreign Operations	We will still need to diplomatically interact with the other sovereign nations.
Seventh	Energy and Water Development	These vital requirements of life should be managed cooperatively by the Sovereign States directly connected with these resources. They are regional concerns … perhaps requiring a degree of federal observation.

For the Sovereign States

The remaining appropriation bills fund past federal usurpation of duties that are better performed by the Sovereign States. I favor trimming federal involvement as control is restored to the Sovereign States.

These to be eliminated appropriation bills include:

8.   Agriculture, Rural Development, and Food and Drug Administration
9.   Commerce, Justice, and Science
10.   Interior and Environment
11.   Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education
12.   Transportation and Housing and Urban Development
