Republicans pretending to care about saving money is just lol. They've passed a $4 trillion dollar budget and ballooned the debt to $22.5 trillion dollars. $2.5 billion dollars isn't even a drop in the bucket, it's a subatomic particle in the bucket. They're perfectly happy to pay for wars, corporate welfare, bailouts for Trump's base, and tax cuts for the rich, but the second you start talking about spending money on the poor & working class, they start crying about how we can't afford it.

I agree. Look at Rand Paul's argument about giving the 9/11 first responders money; it was all about "not increasing the federal deficit" when they increased it by giving the top 1% a permanent tax cut. Of course children of the poor and middle class, who were given a tax cut that expires when Trump leaves office, will be cussing out their parents who sold them down the river for thirty pieces of silver for generations to come.
