Yes, sir.
Let me tell you the basis for that. I'm from the State of Maryland, which is one of the fifty states. It's the only state in the country where the parliament, the legislature, is barred by the state Constitution from increasing the estimates tabled by the government. It cannot vote appropriations in excess of what the government recommended in the budget.
One result of that is that the Maryland legislature has gravitated to a role not of adding expenditure but of taking a tough line in reviewing expenditure, ensuring that they are sensible, that they are within a fiscal envelope, and often cutting expenditure. So that's a possible role.
Things don't always work out precisely that way because what parliamentarians in Maryland sometimes do is tell the Governor of the State of Maryland that if he doesn't put their preference in the budget, he'll have a difficult time with them on some entirely unrelated issue. So in effect they're taking the budget hostage, as it were.
Nevertheless, this is a role the Maryland legislature has carved out, not adding to appropriations but cutting appropriations.
