Then it is perfectly okay.

Excuse me if I'm stupid, but doesn't voting "yes" on funding a bill mean you support the program? I mean, come on, I might not be a professional on Capitol Hill, but I would think that voting yes for funding a program means you support the goals of said program.

Just wondering when a politician is going to bring that up and discuss it.
