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.

More billions can be had by demanding Clinton-related reparations
clawing-back the billions they made using govt information belonging to the taxpayers.
:

<><> from the Clintons' personal wealth said to be forty billion,

<><> the billions illegally obtained by the Clinton Foundation,

<><> the billions they gave their cronies from various US govt slush funds,

<><>the billions Bill Clinton pocketed by exploiting the presidency.

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

"Exactly"

Also, the gub'mint had increased food stamp spending to $140 Billion dollars with the Imposter Obama from $40 Billion at the start of 2009.

The Fake News Crownd & the Rat party have no idea how upset we the people have been for the past 28 years!

Thank you! This does not, however, support the $538 billion a year claim. It's about a 10th of that.
Before amnesty, all unlawful immigrant households together received $93.7 billion per year in government benefits and services and paid $39.2 billion, yielding an aggregate annual deficit of $54.5 billion.

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?
