evidence: And what has happened historically is that at the beginning of wars, there has been emergency money because it wasn't foreseen in advance. And then after the initial period, the money has been gradually brought into the military system where it goes through all of the kinds of checks and balances and what's called the PPBS system in the Pentagon and goes through all of the congressional committees and so forth. Now, in this case, for 10 years, we funded the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars as an emergency. So even when we had built a hundred bases in Iraq and we had more than 200,000 U.S. troops. So what was clearly going to be happening in the next fiscal year, we were still funding this as a quote-unquote "emergency," which means that this money, even though we were spending tens of billions of dollars per year, did not go through any of the oversight mechanisms that regular appropriations must undergo.
