King Barack can give our money to any crony he chooses. He is the unrighteous steward who makes friends in low places with ill-gotten gains.
“King Barack can give our money to any crony he chooses. He is the unrighteous steward who makes friends in low places with ill-gotten gains.”
The Constitution gives the House of Representatives control of both appropriations and revenue. The House can defund any activity, program, or department of the federal government at any time it wishes. The fact that it chooses to fund these programs, or give the President the discretion to spend as he chooses, indicates the House Republicans fully approve of the spending.
The founding fathers intentionally gave the “people’s House” control over the purse for the express purpose of keeping the executive branch in check with respect to spending. Conservatives and Republicans can either continue to complain about the President or cut off the flow of money. It is their choice. If you are in a Republican district, ask you Congresscritter why he or she and the party are complicit.
