I don't like being on The Dole, this hard, either. Might not be sustainable. It's everyone's taxpayer money, isn't it?
But the payments are indeed authorized by Congress. They were not specifically appropriated year over year. The authorization and use come from literal New Deal legislation that handed the specific power to FDR. Call it what you call it, but the 80s farm recession in Regan's era sucked. Probably helped develop a dislike for the smell of certain arguments. The dressings change, but the cores of them are the cores of them.
