If your Congressman is telling you that the Congress does not have the power to cut off funds for a particular activity, then you should vote against him next time because either he doesn't understand the role of Congress or he doesn't feel the need to be honest with you about the role of Congress. A third possibility is that you are just confused about what he's telling you.
