$10 billion is only slightly less than Federal School lunch program.

The Nationa l School Lunch Program cost $11.6 billion in FY 2012. By comparison, the lunch program's total cost in 1947 was $70 million; in 1950, $119.7 million; in 1960, $225.8 million; in 1970, $565.5 million; in 1980, $3.2 billion; in 1990, $3.7 billion; and in 2000, 6.1 billion.

Pocket change with a huge upside and benefit.

You were for Cruz. Now you are bitter. So you lash out at Trumps cornerstone of his campaign.. KMA.

$10B that, if my other points were implemented, is $10B too much.

My posted points of action would have cost $0 and would have numerous benefits from day one.

>Pocket change with a huge upside and benefit.

Pocket change. Few $B here, few $B there...pretty soon, you’re talking real $$. Huge upside and benefit is still to be determined. I’d rather we enforced the EXISTING laws THEN worried about spending more ‘pocket change’ of the taxpayer.

>You were for Cruz. Now you are bitter.

As an (I/ex-L), I had no dog in the fight. Hard to be bitter over a choice I had no ability to partake.

>So you lash out at Trumps cornerstone of his campaign.

Lash out? No, I supplied a list of ‘better to do FIRST’....To restore the Rule of Law, return Freedom to the People and correct over the last 100+yrs. His is an OPTION. IMO, it’s not the best, nor should it be the 1st.

My 1st instinct isn’t, “Let’s throw (taxpayer) $$ at the ‘problem’ (created by govt)”; but throw your lot as you may.
