True and that's been the political tactic Bush has repeatedly employed among other things. Another thing, sometimes Congress will roll other incentives and bills into the funding bill in order to get it passed. For instance, a few months ago there were funds earmarked for Katrina/New Orleans into the funding bill. So many Dems were almost forced to pass it as they didn't want to keep money from flowing into that region.
