It has always been illegal for the government to give gifts of federal tax revenues. Foreign aid is illegal but continues anyway. 100 years ago, the US Supreme Court held that the federal government could not provide funds to a state crippled by a natural disaster. It has repeatedly held that gifts of federal revenues are illegal.

There is no point to furloughs for workers if the pay continues because that allows the debt limit to be exceeded without a vote of Congress.
