Taxpayer resentment over non-defense federal spending surfaced in the House as the agriculture appropriation bill for the next year was cut modestly.

Civilian federal employment rose sharply, wage bills climbed, and broader budget moves aim to curb non-war roles, offset by proposed taxes to fund wartime needs and debt expansion.
