Yes, but... the funding is unconstitutional. The often misconstrued "General Welfare Clause" comes into play here, but in its *correct* application. All funding by Congress must be for the "benefit of the Union of States as a whole" (the Framers' understanding of General, meaning overall, and Welfare, meaning wellbeing). This would apply to a Navy (protecting us from foreign invasion), a Federal judiciary, etc. It would NOT apply to Foreign Aid, even if it was claimed that "bribing the world keeps us safe" (I worded it in an absurd way to make the point). A good explanation can be found here on KZbin by searching for "Not Yours to Give".
