House Appropriations Committee

The House Appropriations Committee is a key legislative body in the U.S. House of Representatives responsible for reviewing and shaping the federal government's budget. It decides how government agencies and programs will receive funding each year, ensuring taxpayer dollars are allocated to priorities like defense, education, and public safety. The committee reviews budget proposals, adds specific funding levels, and works with other congressional committees to ensure government spending aligns with national priorities. Its work is essential for maintaining government operations and overseeing responsible fiscal management.
