The power of the purse can be used to save their money and positively e.g. awarding extra funding to programs that reach certain benchmarks or negatively e.g. removing funding for a department or program, effectively eliminating it . The power of the purse is most often utilized by forces within a government that do not have direct executive power but have control over budgets and taxation.
