Editor's note: Understand that Elon Musk's tech geeks are not finding wasteful spending. Musk's geeks crawling through these outdated government systems with AI are finding kickbacks, weird sex chatrooms, political slush funds, money laundering (Ukraine) and outright theft. This is why these bureaucrats inside these government agencies and intelligence agencies are screaming at Elon Musk to stop. It seems that if this type of data used by these learning systems building AI they will end up with some potentially incredibly malevolent AI.

Below is an AIM analysis of the House Budget Bill for Fiscal Year 2025 (H. Con. Res., 118th Congress, 2nd Session), focusing on identifying potential pork spending, anomalies, carve-outs for special interests, or irregular regulations and language. This analysis is based on a review of the document's budgetary allocations, enforcement mechanisms, reserve funds, and policy statements.

Overview of the Bill

The FY2025 budget resolution establishes recommended budgetary levels for federal revenues, new budget authority, outlays, deficits, and debt from FY2025 through FY2034. It includes 20 major functional categories of spending (e.g., National Defense, Health, Transportation) and introduces budget enforcement rules, reserve funds, and policy statements that guide future legislative actions. Pork spending refers to funds allocated to benefit specific constituents or interests, often seen as wasteful or unnecessary, while anomalies are deviations from standard budgetary practices.

The bill establishes the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2025 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034.

IDENTIFIED ANOMALIES IN BUDGETARY FIGURES

Two notable anomalies appear in the numerical allocations within the major functional categories (Section 102):

1. Social Security (Function 650) Anomaly in FY2030

• Details: For FY2030, the new budget authority is listed as $2,440,000,000, while outlays are $92,440,000,000—a discrepancy of $90 billion. In contrast, FY2029 shows $87,480,000,000 for both, and FY2031 shows $97,117,000,000 for both, suggesting a consistent annual increase.

• Analysis: This appears to be a typographical or clerical error. The new budget authority for FY2030 likely should be $92,440,000,000 to align with outlays and the trend from prior and subsequent years. Such a drastic drop in budget authority without explanation is inconsistent with typical budgeting for Social Security, an entitlement program with predictable growth tied to demographics.

• Implication: If uncorrected, this could misrepresent funding levels, potentially affecting enforcement or future appropriations. 

2. General Government (Function 800) Negative Budget Authority in FY2025

• Details: For FY2025, new budget authority is listed as -$50,120,000,000, while outlays are $25,676,000,000. In FY2026, it shifts to $26,116,000,000 in new budget authority, with outlays at $32,621,000,000, and remains positive thereafter.

• Analysis: Negative budget authority is unusual for a category covering legislative, executive, and government-wide functions. It may reflect offsetting receipts (e.g., fees or revenues credited against spending) or a one-time adjustment. However, the lack of an explanatory note in the resolution makes this an anomaly compared to standard budgeting, where categories typically show positive allocations.

• Implication: This could obscure actual spending intentions or reflect an accounting maneuver, warranting clarification to ensure transparency.

Potential Pork Spending and Special Interest Carve-Outs

Since this is a budget resolution setting overall levels rather than an appropriations bill specifying individual projects, explicit earmarks are absent. However, certain provisions and categories suggest opportunities for pork or favor specific interests:

1. Transportation (Function 400)

• FY2025 Levels: $166,053,000,000 in new budget authority; $138,488,000,000 in outlays.

• Analysis: Transportation is a frequent target for pork due to its project-based nature (e.g., highways, bridges). While the resolution doesn’t list specific projects, the high allocation—exceeding many other discretionary categories—could enable future appropriations to fund localized or politically motivated projects. Section 207 limits transfers from the general fund to the Highway Trust Fund, counting them as new budget authority and outlays, which aims to prevent gimmicks but doesn't preclude targeted spending within the category.

• Potential Concern: Without detailed breakdowns, this category's size raises the possibility of pork in subsequent appropriations bills.

2. Allowances (Function 920)

• FY2025 Levels: $100,210,000,000 in new budget authority; $66,930,000,000 in outlays.

• Analysis: Allowances serve as placeholders for unspecified or future needs, often a vehicle for discretionary spending that could include pork. The significant allocation without specific justification suggests flexibility for later designation, potentially for special interest projects.

• Potential Concern: The lack of transparency in this category could allow funds to be directed to politically favored initiatives.
