Does the United States have the money for a border wall?? Opponents of the President Trump-both Democrat and Republican-insist not, but the numbers tell a different story. On Friday, CNS news editor-in -Chief Terence P. Jeffrey pointed out a staggering statistic; Despite constant foot-dragging in Congress, the sum requested by Trumpfor the southern border security wall is just a drop in the bucket compared to how much the nation spends on food stamps. Sure enough, information from the Department of the Treasury confirmed that the federal government spent 5,892,000,000 on food stamps through the supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. And that was just for one month. All told, over 68 billion was spent on the foot stamp program during all of fiscal year 2018. Bottom line is YES they/we have the money for the wall. If you listen to CNN,MSNBC you would think we are broke! They in Congress blow more money on B.S. then we will ever no. Join us to discuss this and the news of the past week.
