When it comes to the federal budget, not much is a simple. But a bill in Congress has

to add up all the different sources of funding for children's programs in the federal
budget plans they submit each year, much the way they currently tally spending on
homeland security. It carries no cost and is an easy way to paint a clear picture of
overall spending on children's programs.
