Discretionary spending is a spending category about which government planners can make choices.[1] See Government spending. It refers to spending set on a yearly basis by decision of Congress and is part of fiscal policy. This spending is optional, in contrast to entitlement programs for which funding is mandatory.

What this means Buddy is that prior Democratic Congresses and Presidents who sign laws for entitlement programs force future Presidents to spend money on their former Programs.

For the last and final explanation, you cannot tag current Presidents for mandatory spending enacted by previous Democratic Congresses and Democratic Presidents. Do you finally get it?
