The federal government is primed to spend as much as $300 billion in the final quarter of fiscal 2018 as agencies rush to obligate money appropriated by Congress before Sept. 30 or return it to the Treasury Department.

I don't see a problem with it not being spent.

Exactly. It was already appropriated and approved. On the other hand, if they weren't already spending it, I bet at least some of it wasn't truly needed.
