18.5 billion? It’s sad but I have a hard time believing the number is that low.

At least four times that, probably five.

The “president” Obama should have been called out at many times for many things & healthcare for illegals was only one. I never could figure out why Obama wasn’t criticized about 100 times more than Pres. Trump has been.

Just so everyone understands...18 billion is NASA’s budget.

What’s worth more?

I think I've just thought of a way to save 36 billion dollars.

It can’t be that low. Total health care subsidies approaches $700 billion. Assuming 11 million illegal residents and even proportional breakdown, it would be at least $22 billion. If you use the 20 million number, it would over $40 billion.

And I don’t think this number includes what is spent by the states and counties, and what is written off by hospitals as noncollectable receivables. We hear the counties complain about the cost all the time.

I think we call that a ‘civil war’. It might not be far off.

The War of Northern Aggression is going to look much more civil than what is about to happen. This next one is going to look a lot like genocide.

“I think I’ve just thought of a way to save 36 billion dollars. “

Nailed it. I was thinking the same thing. “Gee, that sounds like a total of $36 billion we don’t need to spend.”
