Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, told “CNN New Day” host Alisyn Camerota that America could pay for the wall by slashing the social safety net.
“I would find half of a billion of dollars of that right out of Planned Parenthood’s budget,” King said. “And the rest of it could come out of food stamps and the entitlements that are being spread out for people who have not worked in three generations.”
Report Advertisement Camerota pressed King on the matter of letting Americans go hungry, “You want to take food from people who are on the lowest rung in terms of the nation’s safety net and their children, in terms of foot stamps—you’re happy to take money from them in order to give the $1.6 billion for the border wall?” she asked.
“And I’d throw another $5 billion on the pile,” King replied.
>Cuts funds to Planned Parenthood >Fewer free abortions for poor minorities
Well that's just retarded. I can't justify that from an alt-right perspective. Certain things have to be seen as investments.
Joshua Ortiz
Lad, you eliminate both the planend parenthood funds AND the food stamps. Like two flies with one clap.
Isaac Thompson
It'll solve two problems: illegal immigration and obesity

You are demonstrably wrong. Also, you're not thinking of Republican states, you're thinking of Southern states. And guess what those also have in common.

Rich people in texas have always paid for deadbeats and welfare. He's getting reelected even if we cut food stamps. Assholes can get jobs after 30 years or they can die for all I care faggot. Stop feeding African niggers and stop feeding American niggers. They will starve out and the world will be better. More then likely they will be arrested for a crime so they can eat in prison. Faggot.

A Republican state is a Republican state because the voters in those states vote Republican. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that their demographics are made up entirely of Republicans. If a significant portion of the population are non-Republicans and don't vote, like say, the black community, they could still be a huge drain on the resources of the state.
Mississippi is 37% black. Louisiana is 32%, Georgia is 31%, South Carolina is 28%, and so on. But then you look proudly at your blue state of Minnesota, one of the least welfare dependent states in the country and it's 4%.
Remember, no Democrat president has received less than 82% of the black vote in six decades.
Aaron Fisher

Blacks are having so many abortions that it's like they're enacting population control. The projected black population for 2050 is a whopping 1% increase over the current proportion. Meanwhile Hispanics (white Hispanics I assume) has something like a 20% increase.
Jaxon Hernandez
>republicans want to starve the poor >its okay because some of those poor people are niggers!
The majority of food stamp users in America are white. The rich just want to pit white and black people against each other so neither notices who's robbing them blind.

No we want a wall so spics don't come over so these niggers can get the jobs instead of spics. The minimum wage is depreciated by spic workers. Hungry people can build the wall and buy tacos literally next to the border on the cheap cheap. Two birds 55 stones my nigger.

Can the government create a donation fund earmarked specifically for the wall? I'd throw in a couple hundred.

Rather cut corporate welfare, we could build a 2nd wall for the leafs too. A few extra points on capital gains too. >Inb4 but corporations create jobs and I was taxed once before i invested it.
The set up of central banking requires inflation for invested financial instruments to gain value. This is at the expense of working class, so ... wow fuck it ... capital gains should be taxed as income. (Get the money out of markets and get people investing in people, entrepreneurial projects they can trust, rather than just riding the rising index while mean incomeof50k hasn't changed In 30 years
Caleb Turner
Excellent. If you remove shit like food stamps, you can not only pay for the wall, but you also make immigration much less attractive.

I dont expect a dumb non-STEM redditor to read this, but if you want to learn something.
"Red State Socialism is a myth that ignores the fact that huge numbers of Democrats live in red states. The country is not a flat map, it is textured. Even the most extreme red state is still 40% Blue.
It is ironic that Democrats are always whining about Rethuglicans lacking nuance, but your argument is the most facile low-information generalization ever uttered. No, Bong, Republicans are not the majority of federal aid recipients, and the fact that some of our states are net consumers is WHY we want to reduce that consumption, because we have seen the effects it has. But our states include huge numbers of blacks and Mexicans.
Pick a fucking position. Is consuming federal aid bad? Good, you agree with us, let's cut it all. Is it not bad? Then your only criticism is debunked by your own ideology. You do not get to play the Alinsky handbook on this one, nobody here is dumb enough for that."
