* ArtisticLicenseLaw: Dave saves a homless shelter and many others by getting each government department to move money out of useless projects. While this is a good idea in theory, government departments can't simply cancel projects and give the freed-up money to another one. Their budgets are allocated down to the project by an act of Congress at the beginning of each fiscal year. They're legally required to use the money for its intended purpose, no matter how unproductive or ridiculous certain projects may seem. Spending government money in a different project for which it was appropriated is in fact a ''crime''. That's why the appropriations process is complicated, as there are levels about which level of detail the appropriations need to be at. Having the detail be too general allows the governmental managers to move money around in all kind of unintended ways (such as into their own pockets). Having appropriations be ''too'' detailed ends up limiting necessary flexibility.
