About Approps
THE APPROPRIATIONS CLAUSE
“No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.”
U.S. CONSTITUTION · ARTICLE I · SECTION 9 · CLAUSE 7
PUBLISHING THE ACCOUNTS, FROM TIME TO TIME, SINCE 2026
Tracking federal appropriations has become nearly impossible. The bills are never on time and never guaranteed. Congress runs on continuing resolutions, then drops an omnibus or a minibus with a few thousand pages inside. Half the vocabulary sounds made up. Good luck finding out what's actually in any of it. That's why Approps exists.
Approps launched in 2026, the year the United States of America turned 250. All those years ago the founders wrote one sentence in the Constitution saying Congress decides where funds go and the public needs the receipts. Approps has the receipts.
