Bills & Spending

H.R. 933Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013

Official title: Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013 - An Act making consolidated appropriations and further continuing appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013, and for other purposes

What the tracked text contains

Of the money itself: $835.2B across 39 tracked line-items — defense ($377.7B, 45%), health ($150.3B, 18%) and income security ($131.4B, 16%) lead; 8 smaller categories carry the rest. The largest single line: $106,335,631,000 for Grants to States for Medicaid - first-quarter fiscal year 2014 advance payments. Beyond the cash, the text also sets $4.6B of authorizations (a ceiling on future spending), $8.5B of trust-fund obligation limits, $310.5M of set-asides (already counted above), $24.0B of loan-guarantee ceilings and $1.1B of revenue & offsets (pay-fors) — disclosed beside the total, never summed into it.

Where the money goes

$835.2B across 39 tracked items · compare against another law →

The largest verified line-items. This pie breaks down the biggest spending items in the bill — appropriations and mandatory (direct) spending — by category. Every dollar is quoted from the text; click any slice to read them. It is not necessarily every dollar in the bill, and the gaps are not always small ones — where an account was left out, How this was built at the foot of this page says so and why, and a large omission can change which category ranks first. Figures that aren’t spending — authorizations, guarantee ceilings, pay-fors, and carve-outs already counted — are deliberately left out and disclosed below.

The money map

blocks sized by dollars — open one for the law’s own words

Area is dollars. Each block is one category of tracked spending in H.R. 933, sized by its share of the $835.2B this page tracks. Open a block and it lists the line-items inside it, each with the passage of the enacted text that carries the dollar figure, quoted word for word, and the section it sits in. Category names are the extraction’s own labels, printed as they come — nothing here calls a category worthwhile or wasteful. The quote is the argument.

This map divides the same tracked total the pie above divides — money the text writes as exact dollar lines. It is not the bill’s total fiscal effect: what the extraction leaves out is stated above the pie and in How this was built at the foot of this page, and the dollars deliberately kept out of the count are listed under the map.

3 of the 11 blocks are too small to carry a label without overprinting themselves, so they are drawn blank — every category is named, with its figures, in the rows and the table below.

What’s in this bill

every mechanism we could extract, at one scale

A law can move money four different ways, and only one of them is cash. This compares what H.R. 933 actually spends against what it authorizes, caps, guarantees or pays for. Every bar is a sample. Each one sums the tracked line-items in that mechanism — the largest figures that appear in the text as an exact dollar string — so a bar is a floor, not a mechanism total, and on some laws it is a small fraction of one. Each bar carries its item count and, where the items carry years, the span it covers and where those years came from.

Appropriations & direct spending$835.2B
39 tracked items
cash out the door — this is what the pie above divides up
Authorizations (a ceiling on future spending) · not spending$4.6B
1 tracked item
“There are authorized to be appropriated $X” sets a CAP on what a future appropriations bill may provide — it is permission, not money. Much of a landmark law’s headline figure is this. It is disclosed here, never summed into the pie, because the cash only exists if a later bill actually appropriates it.
Trust-fund obligation limits · not spending$8.5B
1 tracked item
Ceilings on Highway Trust Fund contract authority. Real spending, but the figure is a limit and the underlying authority is set in the surface-transportation law, not this bill — so it is disclosed here, not summed into the spending pie.
Set-asides (already counted above) · not spending$310.5M
2 tracked items
A carve-out or reservation WITHIN a larger line-item already in the pie (e.g. a share of a fund reserved for a specific use). Shown for detail but NOT summed in — its dollars are part of the parent, and counting both would double-count.
Loan-guarantee ceilings · not spending$24.0B
1 tracked item
Caps on NEW loan or mortgage-backed-security guarantee commitments. No cash is spent — the government only backstops private lending — so these are excluded from the pie entirely.
Revenue & offsets (pay-fors) · not spending$1.1B
1 tracked item
Tax changes, rescissions and other provisions that RAISE or save money rather than spend it. Not spending — disclosed so the law’s cost is not overstated by ignoring how it was paid for.

These bars are not added together. Only the top bar is money leaving the Treasury. The rest are ceilings, borrowing limits, carve-outs of money already counted above, or pay-fors — summing them would count the same dollars twice and treat permission to spend as spending. How this was built says what each extraction left out.

The terms on this page, in plain English

What these things actually are — and what this bill does to each of them. Written for readers, not staffers; every figure in the “in this bill” lines appears elsewhere on this page.

The Highway Trust Fund

The federal government's dedicated road-and-transit account. Money flows in from federal taxes on gasoline and diesel, and flows out to state highway and transit projects. Congress promises states money from it years in advance — so the fund's health depends on fuel-tax receipts keeping up with the promises, and for years they haven't. When the gap gets big enough, Congress moves ordinary Treasury money in to cover it.

Contract authority

A promise now, cash later. Congress lets highway agencies sign binding commitments against future trust-fund money before any cash is in hand — useful because a bridge takes years to build. The commitments are real spending eventually, but the figure here is permission to commit, so it is disclosed beside the total rather than counted as money out the door.

Obligation limitation

The annual brake on those promises. States hold years of trust-fund commitments, and each year's spending bill caps how much of them may turn into actual signed spending that year. It is real money moving, but the number is a limit on older promises — not new money — so adding it to the total would double-count.

Authorization (“authorized to be appropriated”)

Permission, not money. “There is authorized to be appropriated $X” sets a ceiling on what a future spending bill may provide — and if that later bill never passes, not a dollar moves. Much of a landmark law's famous headline number is this kind of permission, which is why this site never adds it to the spending total.

Mandatory vs. discretionary spending

Discretionary money must be re-approved every year in appropriations bills — if Congress does nothing, it stops. Mandatory (also called direct) spending is written into permanent law and flows automatically until Congress changes the law itself. Benefit programs mostly work the mandatory way, which is why they don't show up in the yearly funding fights.

Loan-guarantee ceiling

The government co-signing loans, not spending money. The figure caps how much new lending the government may promise to stand behind; cash leaves the Treasury only if borrowers default. These ceilings can dwarf a bill's actual spending — which is exactly why they are shown separately and never summed into it.

Rescission

Taking back money Congress previously provided that hasn't been spent yet. It reduces spending on paper; how much it saves in practice depends on whether the money was ever going out the door.

Advance appropriation

Money approved now for a future year. Used above all for veterans' benefits and care, so that a government shutdown or a late budget can never interrupt disability checks or hospital operations — the money for next year is already law.

Set-aside (carve-out)

A floor inside money already counted: “of the amounts above, at least $X shall go to Y.” It steers the money rather than adding to it — counting a carve-out again would double-count — so it is disclosed beside the total, never summed into it.

SNAP (food stamps)

Monthly grocery money on a debit card for low-income households. It is an entitlement: everyone who qualifies and applies receives it, and the appropriation has to cover whoever shows up — so the figure moves with the economy, not with a policy choice in this bill.

Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8)

Rent help for low-income tenants: the household pays roughly a third of its income, the voucher covers the rest up to a local cap. Unlike SNAP it is not an entitlement — when the year's money runs out, waiting lists grow. That is why this annual number decides how many families are actually helped.

Final House action on the enacted text was Roll 89 on 2013-03-21, 'On Motion to Concur in the Senate Amendments', Passed 318-109 with 4 not voting. The earlier House votes on this bill on 2013-03-06 are NOT used here: Roll 62 ('On Passage', 267-151) passed the original House-only text, not the enacted Senate-amended version, and Roll 61 was a motion to recommit with instructions (failed 188-231).

The Senate's final-passage vote on the enacted text was Record Vote 44 on 2013-03-20, 'On Passage of the Bill H.R. 933 As Amended', Bill Passed 73-26 with 1 absent. Record Vote 43 the same day (63-36) was the cloture motion, not passage. The House then concurred in the Senate amendments (Roll 89), and the bill became Public Law 113-6 on 2013-03-26.

“Did not vote” is not the same as “absent.” The record distinguishes Present — there, and formally declining to take a side — from Not Voting, where no vote was cast. That is usually absence, but the roll call does not say so, so this table does not either.

Did not vote (2): Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), Mark E. Amodei (R-NV).

A member is recorded as not voting for many ordinary reasons — illness, a death in the family, official travel, or a paired vote arranged with a colleague on the other side. The roll call gives no reason, so neither does this page, and nothing here is counted against anyone’s grade. This site tracks a small number of major bills, so a single absence is a large share of what is shown here and a very small share of the hundreds of votes a member actually casts.

These tallies count the 180 members sitting today who have a recorded position, not the historical result. Several of these bills passed in earlier Congresses, and members who have since left are not in the roster — so the totals here are smaller than the 435 + 100 that voted at the time. Where both chambers held a recorded vote, a member is grouped by the chamber they sit in now; anyone who has switched chambers since then appears in their current row.

Authorizations (a ceiling on future spending)$4.6B

“There are authorized to be appropriated $X” sets a CAP on what a future appropriations bill may provide — it is permission, not money. Much of a landmark law’s headline figure is this. It is disclosed here, never summed into the pie, because the cash only exists if a later bill actually appropriates it.

  • AUTHORIZATION (a ceiling on FUTURE appropriations, not money provided here) to pay for the increase in the United States subscription to the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development under the Bretton Woods Agreements Act; of this, $278,370,088 for paid in shares and $4,361,131,378 for callable shares$4.6B

Trust-fund obligation limits$8.5B

Ceilings on Highway Trust Fund contract authority. Real spending, but the figure is a limit and the underlying authority is set in the surface-transportation law, not this bill — so it is disclosed here, not summed into the spending pie.

  • CEILING on obligations for Federal Transit Administration—Formula and Bus Grants - funds for the programs authorized by 49 U.S.C. 5305, 5307, 5310, 5311, 5318, 5322(d), 5329(e)(6), 5335, 5337, 5339 and 5340 as amended by Public Law 112–141 "shall not exceed obligations of $8,478,000,000" (a limitation on obligations against liquidated contract authority, not new budget authority)$8.5B

Set-asides (already counted above)$310.5M

A carve-out or reservation WITHIN a larger line-item already in the pie (e.g. a share of a fund reserved for a specific use). Shown for detail but NOT summed in — its dollars are part of the parent, and counting both would double-count.

  • Carve-out WITHIN Procurement, Defense-Wide and Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide for the Secretary of Defense to provide to the Government of Israel for procurement of the Iron Dome defense system to counter short-range rocket threats$211.0M
  • Carve-out WITHIN the $6,820,217,000 Federal Prison System account for activation of newly constructed prisons, as requested in the Department's fiscal year 2013 budget$99.5M

Loan-guarantee ceilings$24.0B

Caps on NEW loan or mortgage-backed-security guarantee commitments. No cash is spent — the government only backstops private lending — so these are excluded from the pie entirely.

  • Ceiling on gross obligations for the principal amount of UNSUBSIDIZED GUARANTEED rural housing loans under title V of the Housing Act of 1949 (a guarantee level, not cash spent)$24.0B

Revenue & offsets (pay-fors)$1.1B

Tax changes, rescissions and other provisions that RAISE or save money rather than spend it. Not spending — disclosed so the law’s cost is not overstated by ignoring how it was paid for.

  • RESCISSION of unobligated balances of prior-year (Public Law 112–74) Diplomatic and Consular Programs funds of the Department of State designated by the Congress for Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism (money taken back, not spent)$1.1B

How this was built

Fetched the GovInfo bulk-data enrolled (ENR) XML for H.R. 933 (bill-stage='Enrolled-Bill', bill-type='appropriations'), flattened it with ElementTree itertext() into a faithful plain-text rendering, then walked the division -> title -> appropriations-major -> appropriations-intermediate -> appropriations-small structure (plus general-provision <section> nodes) to attribute every dollar figure to its account. ADVERSARIAL VERIFICATION PASS: the source was independently re-fetched, every dollar string and every quote was re-tested as an exact substring, every operative verb was re-read for mechanism, and every capitalised phrase and specific noun in each purpose/recipient was grepped against the flattened source; unsupported descriptive language was deleted or rewritten to the text's own words. Account headings for added items were resolved from the XML element tree, not guessed. 45 of 45 sampled figures were re-located as exact strings in the source text. Source: GovInfo enrolled bill text. Full bill text.

Extraction notes (technical)

SOURCE: the enacted/enrolled text (GovInfo bulk BILLS, BILLS-113hr933enr.xml), which is Public Law 113-6, signed 2013-03-26. This is an appropriations act (bill-type='appropriations'), so the dollars are in the operative text and no CBO score is needed; spending_source='bill_text'. STRUCTURE: Divisions A-E are five full-year appropriations acts (Agriculture/FDA; Commerce-Justice-Science; Defense; Homeland Security; MilCon-VA). Division F is the 'Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013': section 1101 appropriates 'such amounts as may be necessary' at fiscal year 2012 levels for the seven bills that never got a full-year act (Energy-Water, Financial Services, Interior, Labor-HHS-Education, Legislative Branch, State-Foreign Ops, Transportation-HUD), and later sections override the level for named accounts ('Notwithstanding section 1101, the level for X shall be $Y'). Those level-setting figures ARE the amount appropriated for that account under the continuing appropriation, so they are tagged 'appropriation', but the appropriating verb lives in section 1101, not in the level-setting section - the citation names both. Division F items do not overlap Divisions A-E: they cover different agencies. MECHANISMS (never summed together): 39 items are appropriations; 2 are set_asides carved out of a line-item already counted (the $99,496,000 prison-activation proviso inside the $6,820,217,000 Bureau of Prisons account, and the $211,000,000 Iron Dome carve-out inside the $479,736,000 Israeli Cooperative Programs share of Procurement and RDT&E, Defense-Wide) and are disclosed but NOT added; $24,000,000,000 is a ceiling on gross obligations for unsubsidized GUARANTEED rural housing loans - a guarantee level with no cash outlay, the single biggest 'add every dollar' trap in this bill; $8,478,000,000 is an obligation ceiling on Highway Trust Fund (Mass Transit Account) contract authority whose underlying authority is set in MAP-21, not here; $4,639,501,466 for the World Bank IBRD capital increase is an AUTHORIZATION ('there are authorized to be appropriated') - permission for future appropriations, not money provided by this law; $1,109,700,000 is a RESCISSION of prior-year State Department OCO funds - money taken back, not spent. APPROPRIATED ENTITLEMENTS: several of the largest accounts here (SNAP $77.3B, child nutrition $19.9B, VA compensation and pensions $60.6B, VA readjustment benefits $12.0B, and the Sec. 1109(b) first-quarter fiscal 2014 advances for Medicaid $106.3B and SSI $19.3B) are mandatory/entitlement spending in budget terms, but this law provides them through an appropriation, so they are tagged 'appropriation' per the operative verb in the text. They are real outlays either way and belong in the pie. SEQUESTRATION CAVEAT: these are the amounts enacted in the bill text. Nearly all of them were then reduced by the March 1, 2013 sequestration order under the Budget Control Act, which this Act did not repeal; the figures below are what Congress appropriated, not what agencies ultimately obligated. COMPLETENESS: this is a roughly 720,000-character act with 605 distinct dollar figures across seven divisions. These 45 are the largest and most illustrative, so the tracked total is a FLOOR on the bill's spending, never an overstatement. Notable omissions for space include Military Personnel Marine Corps, RDT&E Army and Navy, several procurement accounts, most VA medical accounts, and dozens of Division F level-setting sections. Per-project earmark detail is not in this text at all: section 4 gives the explanatory statement printed in the Congressional Record on or about March 11, 2013 the effect of a joint explanatory statement for allocation purposes, so account-level totals are what the bill itself states.

How this lands in a state

two layers, in order: reported, shown

Pick a state and this section gives you two different things, and keeps them apart. First, what the government itself reports — obligations Treasury tags to this law, where such a tag exists. Second, the state’s own numbers — the same rows an assessment would be given, with their sources and vintages, so you can check this page against the record behind it. Every state is treated identically.

1. What the government reports

no official per-state breakdown exists for this law

No official source breaks H.R. 933 down by state, so this page publishes no per-state dollar figure for it. No Disaster Emergency Fund Code maps to this law, so no reported obligation can be traced back to it. Without that tag there is no audit trail from an award to this bill, and any per-state figure would be modelled rather than derived.

Two of the 31 laws tracked on this site can be broken down honestly — the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the American Rescue Plan Act — because Treasury tags their money with a Disaster Emergency Fund Code that maps to one public law and no other. Where no such code exists, a per-state figure would be modelled rather than derived, and this site does not publish modelled numbers.

The route we refuse to take, and why (technical)

USAspending's award SEARCH endpoints accept the same def_codes filter but select AWARDS, not DOLLARS: they return an award's entire obligation if any part of it touched the law's money. That route reported a single Sandia National Laboratories contract as $42.8B of IIJA money in New Mexico against a true DEFC-apportioned $64.5M, and overstated ARPA nationally by about 80%. It is not used here and must not be.

2. The assessment

nothing staged into this build

No assessments were staged into this build. This layer reads precomputed readings out of the page, and this build carries none, so there is nothing here for any state — a gap in the build rather than a fact about H.R. 933. The two sourced layers either side of it are unaffected: they are the government’s figures and the state’s own, and neither depends on a model.

3. The state’s own numbers

the rows the assessment was given
