Original Note:
Sections 8 & 9 in Article 1 of the Constitution grant what's colloquially known as the "power of the purse" to Congress. This includes the power to levy taxes, appropriate funds through legislation, pay debts, etc. This has never been a secret as Laura Ingraham suggests. https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/article-1/#article-1-section-8 https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/article-1/#article-1-section-9
