Not really from USA so I have no idea what the situation there is but in my country Philippines a lot of budget is tied behind what we locally call confidential and intelligence fund. This fund even education department is asking for it's quite a huge part of the budget. This are not accessable to the public fyi there is no breakdown for that budget.
