Holy Sh**. The Relief Bill is an Omnibus. Which means POTUS can allocate it where ever he wants.

Only a Budget determines where the money gets spent.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA
So, here we have it, US President Donald J. Trump outsmarted the DC elites again, as Congress screwed themselves by not passing a Budget
Here is what this means
The Constitution requires the President adhere to a Budget set forth by Congress and direct the expenditures as provided therein.
This Omnibus Spending Bill is just another Big Pork Bills
An Omnibus Spending Bill may have some ‘instructions’ as to how the money will be spent, but DJT can decide when and where and how it’s spent And Congress can not, and will not be able to do a thing about it.
First, there are two different parts to the Federal Budget: Mandatory Spending and Discretionary Spending. Mandatory spending is for programs such as Medicare and Social Security. These are regulated by law and are over and above the appropriations process.
Discretionary spending is supposed to be from 12 appropriations bills passed by Congress for things such as the Military, grants, agriculture, etc. This omnibus is full of discretionary spending. Meaning Trump can do with it (within some Rules and parameters) however he sees fit.
