why is everyone here complaining about the government cutting the budget?

Fact: if you want small government, then benefits for you will be cut. It won’t just be programs that benefit others. You could cut all the welfare for illegal aliens and it wouldn’t put a dent in the defecit.

Illegal aliens cost the US 1/4 - 1/3 $Trillion net per year! See post 47 for a partial list of other items. As you read the list, note much of our 'foreign aid' is hidden in the budgets of of the EPA, FDA, etc.

If Colorado cut the illegals welfare system they could put $2B back in the budget and stop blackmailing us that there is no money for the school kids.
