Wednesday on CNNs New Day, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) was asked by show co-host Alisyn Camerota if he was comfortable holding up funding for the federal government if it did not include money for the border wall.
King said that he was, but suggested taking it a step further by adding money earmarked for food stamps and Planned Parenthood to fund the wall.
Partial transcript as follows:
CAMEROTA: And its $1.6 billion. I mean, thats what might be holding up, you know, the funding for the government. But are you comfortable, Congressman, with providing $1.6 billion of taxpayer money, not from Mexico, to build that wall?
KING: Absolutely yes, and more, and Id throw another $5 billion on the pile and I would find a half of a billion dollars of that right out of Planned Parenthoods budget. And the rest of it could come out of food stamps and the entitlements that are being spread out for people that havent worked in three generations.
Weve got to put America back to work. This administration will do it. And weve got to let weve got to free them up so that they can and support the right agenda for this country.
CAMEROTA: You want to take food from people who are the people who are on the lowest rung in terms of the nations safety net, and their children in terms of food stamps, youre happy to take youre willing to take money from them to build the $1.6 or to give the $1.6 billion for the border wall?

I’d go even further and take the $5 billion or so a year that it costs to support Congress and toss that on the pot as well. You want to talk about wasteful spending.

Thanks.
The Heritage article carefully documents where its data comes from any explains its methodology. This tosses out numbers without explaining where they came from. I’ll have to dig a little deeper in to it.
Yes...that’ll be a win win..here...go through the projects here and you’ll see ‘Summer break spot’ (free breakfast, lunch and dinner) signs. Schools here have breakfast, lunch and dinner for ‘poor’ kids. If there are eating at school, why do they need EBT? For drugs?
Already done...
