14. Will they ever be held accountable for this budget game

Kate Stith from the Yale Law School explains why the federal budget is part of the “job description” of Congress: “Like the appropriations requirement, this [Statement and Accounts] requirement states not a power but a legislative duty that has been interpreted to require an annual budget.”

Stith also points to how Justice Joseph Story defined the relationship between the two clauses in his Commentaries on the Constitution. “The power to control and direct the appropriations constitutes a most useful and salutary check upon profusion and extravagance, as well as upon corrupt influence and public speculation,” Story said. “[A]nd to make their responsibility complete and perfect, a regular account of the receipts and expenditures is required to be published, that the people may know, what money is expended, for what purposes, and by what authority.”

That the people may know what money is being expended and for what purpose. It’s a legislative duty but if the press doesn’t care the public will NEVER be informed.
