It might boil down to just a sheer ignorance on just how the American system of government in a Republic actually works. The President doesn't have the power to allocate money any way he sees fit. Money is distributed, allocated, and spent by way of congress.

I like what someone said about the workings of private charities being far more effective than that of government institutions. So true - and one just needs to look towards the government education systems for proof.
