Trump lying about wall funding again
https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/10/politics/trump-mexico-pay-wall/index.html
President Donald Trump claimed Thursday that his oft-made 2016 campaign promise that he would build a wall and Mexico would pay for it didn't mean it would be a direct payment, despite outlining just that scenario during his campaign.
"When during the campaign, I would say 'Mexico is going to pay for it,' obviously, I never said this, and I never meant they're gonna write out a check, I said they're going to pay for it. They are," he said as he prepared to depart the White House for the southern border.
But in April 2016, Trump's campaign outlined the steps he would take to compel Mexico to pay the US "$5-10 billion" to fund a border wall -- a plan that relies largely on threatening to bar undocumented Mexican immigrants in the United States from wiring money to relatives in Mexico.
"It's an easy decision for Mexico: make a one-time payment of $5-10 billion to ensure that $24 billion continues to flow into their country year after year," the memo said.

Food stamp program is a 100% total failure, ripe with Fraud and should be eliminated completely. Immediately.
Also,
We are a rich Country and none of our citizens should ever go hungry. Although I do acknowledge some still choose to. -
We should be taxing the heck out of the money that leaves the country. Put in a 50% tax for money sent outside the US, unless its for purchasing actual goods in return.

I'm just curious how someone who complains about liars every day never makes a peep about his president lying to him on a daily basis.SFGbob said:

If there's such a crisis at the border like [Trump] claims (with no facts or data to back it up)
