Congress can vote tomorrow not to spend money on anything. They can cancel contracts, they can cut funding for wasteful agencies.

We've only incurred those expenses if we choose to incur them going forward. Uh.......its money already spent. It may be a contract to build a road where only half the money is actually gone and the rest will be gone when the road is complete but the money is committed. Are you really suggesting we cancel those contracts, o wise one?
