So you approve of $55B in foreign aid, but can't approve $5B for national security?
Do you not see the irony of this? $55B what building a wall has been estimated at, cut the aid by the amount Trump wants, but they are not willing to compromise at all, so why should he?
Yeah, what's a few billion more than the $650+ billion we already spend on national security? If you're going to throw around numbers, feel free to be more truthful about it. Defense and DHS spending, which combined is our national security, is over half of the discretionary budget spending, which is what is appropriated by Congress. I think the wall is a stupid idea, but if it is going to happen I am perfectly fine with it coming from all of that pork.
