Who is going to pay for this
Submitted by LaFeminista on Mon, 02/27/2017 - 2:13pmSo far Herr Hair wants:
- He wants £54 billion more to the MIC so that makes a total of around $700billion including veterans affairs.
- Promised more tax cuts for the wealthy.
- Promised spending on infrastructure.
- Promised the reduction of the national debt.
- Promised not to touch Social Security or Medicare.

It is time for a reality check.

A few minutes of your time, Mr. President?

Watching CPAC and the Trump circus last week was more than depressing.
Watching the MSM carry on both publicizing and criticizing at the same time the snake-oil salesmen in the White House is quite frankly just mind numbing.
