Which legislative committee strongly influences the expenditure of funds for all divisions of state government?

Hi there!

As outlined in the Constitution, Congress has the power to control the flow of money to different agencies and states through its lawmaking abilities. The term synonymous with this process is appropriation. The Appropriation Committee, one of the largest committees in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, strongly influences the expenditure of funds not only for state governments, but all government spending.
