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?
That's were we are today in the culture of 2017
The following quotation has been attributed to Tytler, although it has also been occasionally attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville:
A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.

That’s a great idea. I’ve been saying ever since Trump first suggested his wall that it would be expensive and we need to find the money elsewhere in the budget to avoid going deeper in debt. Ditto the infrastructure plan.
Fortunately, there are plenty of places in the budget where we can go to get it.
But then, i’m somewhat of a radical. I have 9 Federal departments I’d like to close.

Steve King represents rural Iowa. He knows the ‘Farm Bill’ and that it is mostly food stamps. And he knows the details of where and on what that food stamp money is spent. Junk food from convenience stores is not the intent of ‘helping the poor’. King knows it, and Camerota does too. She just lies to score political points with her ignorant audience.

Why not use useless expenditures like foreign aid and UN contributions as well?

Stop fed money from going to Sanctuary Cities and use that to build the wall.
Also, stop any fed $’s to illegals and use that money to build the wall.

This is a joke. Our government wastes billions every year.
To: Cheerio
A great idea (
among many others), but ultimately....talk is cheap...very cheap.
That is all this Republican controlled congress seems capable of doing, is talking a good game.

Why not use useless expenditures like foreign aid and UN contributions as well?I've been saying that for many, many years. Stop all foreign aid unless it proves a direct benefit of value to the U.S. equal to or greater than the expenditure.
And U.S out of U.N.; U.N. out of U.S., NOW!

It costs us 538 billion annually to support illegals. 20 billion to build the wall.

George W. Bush dumped a cool fifteen billion dollars (and more) to somewhere in Africa to fight AIDS and no one bats an eye, but building a wall to protect Americans...
