T. expenses their portion of running the HR office their portion of running the accounting office and the department and allocate the cost of all those things back down to that division so that division is only paying for their share of that expense is your where the constitution places strict limits on how cash funds in in this case are special revenues can be used. The proceeds of attacks can only be used for the purpose for which the taxes raised so we have to be very careful when we bill out to agency through cost allocation process those agencies are only being billed for the expenses they consume.
