Lincoln didn't agree with this bill because he thought it was too harsh. He had a more lenient Ten Percent Plan, which allowed southerners still hold/run for office,unlike the Wade-Davis Bill. Unfortunately Lincoln was assassinated before the veto was official, and the Ten Percent Plan was put in effect.
Think about the idea here and you'll see how the idea of "cost" is inevitable in every decision. (It's true not just of governments, but of our own decisions too -- but we'll focus on governments here.)
Let's say the government decides it wants all citizens to have access to health care. Well, that's going to cost dollars to pay for that health care. Where will those dollars come from?
Let's say the government decides, in response to school shootings or other acts of gun violence, to ban certain types of guns or ammunition. That costs something to the gun dealers who were making money off those sales (and they'll object). Or let's say the government decides to do further and deeper background checks on all gun buyers. Well, that will cost something in terms of personnel and processes to accomplish all the background checks. Or let's say the government decides to increase mental health screenings and treatment because persons with mental illness issues may become violent and dangerous to society. That will cost much in order to organize and carry out better mental health intervention across the country.
I focused on just a couple issues there (health care, gun control). But the same principle holds on anything government does. You can think about your own examples that you'd want to use. Anything the government decides to do comes with some sort of costs attached. That doesn't mean it's bad to make such decisions -- it just means we need to count the cost and invest our efforts where they will have the best benefit.

D) Russia. The Romanov dynasty ruled Russia from 1613 until 1917, when the Russian Revolution overthrew the Tsar Nicholas II and replaced the monarchy with the Soviet Union. World War I was devastating for Russia, who lost millions of lives and took an economic toll on the nation. This created nationwide protests to pull out of the war, which Russia eventually did. The Romanovs however, proved inefficient at meeting the demands of the serfs who created an uprising and overthrew the government.<span />
Oversight and public education are examples of "implied" Congressional functions, since although they are not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, they are included in Congress's wide-reach power to regulate interstate activity.
