As we’re approaching the Super Bowl again, my mind is on what the size of the fine will be when Sir Paul exposes a bejeweled nipple. Most importantly, I’m wondering where the money that the network, the affiliates, or the artist will pay in fines will go. Does it go to a general fund in the big ol’ budget? Does it go to the better cell phone reception budget?
Whither the fine money?
It goes to the US Treasury and becomes part of the general US budget.
Sweet! So more boobies on TV means a lower budget deficit! Okay, ladies, you know what to do! 
Do you have a cite for this?
No cite, but it is a general principle that all money collected as fines, duties, taxes, service fees, etc. goes into the general fund. Congress is the only part of the government with the constitutional authority to authorize spending by the federal government. All money must flow through the budget process.
A quick search gives me US code Title 47, Section 504(a), which says, in part:
If you want a better cite than that, I might be able to find one. I’ll also mention, in case you were curious, that I’ve been working as a paralegal in a telecommunications law firm for the past 5 years.
Good enough. Thanks for the help.
