re: #638 negativ

Elaborate.

Policy riders only instruct the agency receiving the money that they need to fund or defund something, they don’t actual effect the level of funding for that agency. So for instance, the rider regarding the defunding of NPR does not reduce the budget for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, it only prevents CPB from using any of it’s budget to fund NPR. The rider defunding Planned Parenthood does not reduce the budget for Title X, iti only restricts Title X from funding Planned Parenthood.

etc. etc.
