CAMEROTA: You want to take food from people who are the people who are on the lowest rung in terms of the nation’s safety net, and their children — in terms of food stamps, you’re happy to take — you’re 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?

Could not stand her at FOX, as she is an elitist , snobby, egotistical , brain dead fool.

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.

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.

Have soe balls Rep. King and come right out and say it Like I have for many years.

I HATE THE POOR !!!

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...

[DoodleDawg]

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.

[stars & stripes forever]

SESAME STREET has been on WELFARE far too long...

ALL of PBS for that matter. BUILD THE WALL.

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?
