That's really not more chilling. I recommend actually reading the document. There are multi billion dollar cuts to IT programs and CISA/cyber security infrastructure, along with massive cuts to basic research, EPA protections and toxic site cleanup, and basic social services, the list goes on. Instead we're plowing extra money into military spending, but because the defense budget is already so bloated it amounts to a small percentage increase there, and huge percentage decreases in everything else.
- Auracle 1y agoIf we’re investing in securing the border with a significant chunk of that defense spending that’ll save us a lot more over time, presuming the democratic presidents of the future don’t proverbially throw the gates open.
- igor47 1y agoThis is false. A prediction of "securing our border will save money" is false. It really, really is. Check your sources and approach this as a scientist trying to verify your idea, not as a partisan and trying to defend it. You will quickly see that even illegal immigration is not a cost, especially to the federal government.
