Agreed with everything you said, but people would say the exact same thing about some of the more wasteful programs that were shutdown. "It is only $50 million" etc got really old... It is not like you can expect to just find massive line items that can be easily removed

Yeah I mean they could pay for the new ballroom or two and have some money left over by not feeding those scammy undeserving people.

Or even better we could give some more money to Argentina.

Some of those items were about feeding starving kids, others weren’t. Perhaps we shouldn’t pretend that anyone equating them is saying something worth listening to or taking remotely seriously.

Ahem.
