"The House of Representatives cannot only refuse, but
they alone can propose, the supplies requisite for the support of
government. They, in a word, hold the purse that powerful
instrument by which we behold, in the history of the British
Constitution, an infant and humble representation of the people
gradually enlarging the sphere of its activity and importance, and
finally reducing, as far as it seems to have wished, all the
overgrown prerogatives of the other branches of the government.
This power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most
complete and effectual weapon with which any constitution can arm
the immediate representatives of the people, for obtaining a
redress of every grievance, and for carrying into effect every just
and salutary measure."
James Madison, Federalist Papers.
The person who posted this to make a point, was called a "Faux News dupe."
Lefties/progs just hate when people bring up the Founding Fathers.
Hate it.
Yet, they claim they're intellectually aligned with them.
They're insane.
