Congress is given certain specific powers to do things that they might do without a dollar of money. if they could get a volunteer to the Army or whatever. and add that the constant practice of Congress and of every Department of the Government for a hundred years. beginning with the First Congress. has demonstrated that that is the way the men whom~de the Constitution and who have administered it since understood it. One of the very first acts passed. I believe. in the very first Congress. was to give a certain amount of money to refugees from somewhere (I can not take the time in five minutes to say where). and so on down to this day. going latterly to seeds for the farmers of Texas. Congress has appropriated money out of the Treasury to pay for such objects.
