GAO

Congressional Audits and Oversight of Federal Agricultural Programs

Description

Kimball barrels into Toby's office, demanding suspension of the GAO review clawing at agricultural subsidies, production flexibility contracts, and grazing fees—each plea shatters against Toby's staccato 'no's,' expulsion swift. Royce, in Roosevelt Room shadows, extracts the flip: a promised GAO probe into the farm safety net's hemorrhaging weaknesses, his seven votes secured in that pivotal bargain. This congressional bloodhound unleashes audits on executive spending, fueling veto override frenzies, partisan arm-twists, and White House recalibrations under razor-thin margins.
