One can hardly believe it.  In the bazillions of dollars the US Senate’s “continuing resolution” wants to confiscate just to keep the joint open through September, one finds this gem early on:

“In the Senate of the United States,

March 20, 2013.

Resolved, That the bill from the House of Representatives (H.R. 933) entitled ‘‘An Act making appropriations for the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and other departments and agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013, and for other purposes.’’, do pass with the following: 

AMENDMENTS:

Strike all after the enacting clause, and insert in lieu thereof:

 SHORT TITLE

 SECTION 1. This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013’’.

 NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS SERVICE:

 For necessary expenses of the National Agricultural Statistics Service, $179,477,000, of which up to $62,500,000  shall be available until expended for the Census of  Agriculture.”
