Still, that upward [revenue] revision for the upcoming year would not be enough to cover a shortfall created by a cost overrun related to a state expansion of health care to noncitizens who would otherwise be ineligible for Medicaid benefits.

Those programs, which provide health care benefits similar to Medicaid to noncitizens aged 42 and older, are now expected to cost about $1.1 billion next year – a 400 percent increase from the original estimate of $220 million included in Pritzker’s February budget proposal.

So when Grandmad SS and Medicare get reduced, the FSA gets their ebt card cut, remind them they voted for this. Immigrants are expensive and there’s not enough to go around.

Maybe we should pay them to have children. That’s trumps plan to save SS.
A reasonable person would audit every dollar spent for the last 40 years and stop the slush fund to blue states. #SSMathIsHard
