c. she can support the cause without having to find money for it.

Congressional representatives often vote for bills that do not contain funding so they can be seen as supporting the cause without having to provide funding.
Authorization bills for funding programs, if present, usually pass around the time the original bill passed, and the first authorization bill for a program is often named for the program it funds.
Bills are not usually passed in the hope that funding can be found at a later date.
It certainly may be true that there is not enough money left in the budget, but it is not the reason that this is done as a practice.
