Yes, simply removing unions from government contracts and employment would save enough to make this easily “affordable”—though of course a massive shrinkage of government is in order too.
On that note, I will say I very much like Trump’s budget priorities of getting illegals off the dole (though I’d get them out of the country pronto too) and adding more work requirements for the able bodied.
The GOP as a party is of course totally exposed now, as they’ve gone from “we can’t cut anything because Obama won’t approve it” to “Trump can’t cut anything because we won’t approve it!”
Wait.. illegals off the dole? Didn’t he say a few weeks ago that dreamers need not worry. He is proposing amnesty, on some level. So that magic means non illegals on the dole, because they wouldn’t want to worry dreamers.
Of course, being illegal means paying no taxes, i have to say it literally pays to be illegal. Imagine your bank account if you had 20 years of untaxed income.
