They've been trying to break the federal government since before the nation was founded. These are the descendents of the same people that wanted to count "non-humans" like slaves towards their population but without giving those slaves the same rights as them.

Basically, you are correct that Congress makes the law saying how the money is to be spent. However the executive branch decides when to release those funds. The president decided to wait until the last possible moment to release those funds, basically forcing departments to spend the money as quickly as possible before the end of the Fiscal Year since the funds are use it or lose it. So essentially the money is allocated and then clawed back.
