302(B) Mine: Happy Valentine’s Day

Washington, D.C. – With Valentine’s Day here, the House Appropriations Committee is expressing our cardinal rule: unlike discretionary spending, there is no limit on love! We can’t help but share our affection for the appropriations process - so in the spirit of the day, enjoy a roundup of festive valentines: 

 

302(B) Mine 

 

Roses are red, violets are blue, my fiscal year starts with you.

 

You really fit the bill to be passed out of committee, valentine!

 

Forget recess - my love for you is always in session!

 

Our friendship is like mandatory spending – it grows automatically.

 

 I’ve allocated 100% of my heart to you.

 

I'd reprogram my whole budget to spend more time with you.

 

Unlike discretionary spending, my feelings for you will never be up for debate.

 

Contrary to continuing resolutions, my love for you will never end. 

 

Valentine, no points of order here! I yield all my time to you.

 

Roses are red, violets are blue, Congress may hold the purse strings, but my heart belongs to you.
