13 (2) EXEMPTION OF CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS
14 RELATED TO THE GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM.—
15 For any bill or joint resolution, or amendment there
16 to or conference report thereon, that makes appro
17 priations for fiscal year 2011 for contingency oper
18 ations directly related to the global war on ter
19 rorism, then the new budget authority or outlays re
20 sulting therefrom shall not count for purposes of ti
21 tles III or IV of the Congressional Budget Act of
22 1974.
So what the hell does that mean?? Well, it lets the House keep all of the War expenditures off the numbers for the Deficit. It makes them look like they are spening less that they are (the same way they did under Bush). Enjoy being hood-winked by these people YOU elected. About as "transparent" as a sheet of lead.
