The congressional appropriations are expenses. They are "spending." "The story of the modern budget process begins in 1974 with the Budget Control and Impoundment Act (the Act). The law’s purpose is to make sure Congress knows exactly what
it is spending and to make sure the president is following the spending directives from Congress."
