No that's not right. It's not that all the countless departments and agencies can go to the federal reserve or congress whenever they need more money and it will write them a check. I mean in aggregate that's vaguely how it goes, but there is never enough money to spend at any given time. If there was a gigantic cache of money, they would be unable to help themselves. Why do you think the CIA sells drugs and weapons? It's not a couple of greedy dudes at the top running everything and telling everybody to waste money. It's systemic from top to bottom.
