Oh, so illegals are cool is they pay SS taxes? What a bunch of BS you are spewing here.
Didn’t say that. Was trying to give an accurate picture of how much the federal government spends on illegals. We know illegals work under actual citizens social security numbers sometimes. However I can’t find any numbers on how much illegal’s pay into the system. If you read my statement again you’ll see I said it’s probably still a net loss.
Usually freepers are very knowledgable of the issues. More so than other boards I post on. However, when it comes to the federal budget I don’t think a lot of freepers have really done their research. I have. You could cut all welfare and money on illegals and not even make a dent in our deficit spending. even adding in foreign aid won’t do much. Not saying we shouldn’t try to reduce those expenditures but in the grand scheme there not that big of a deal.
The three biggies are Medicare and Medicaid, Social Security, and Defense spending. To balance the budget we will have either cut those programs or increase taxes or a combination of the two.
We cannot cut taxes and grow our way out of this situation. We have tried it three times now. First under Reagan, then Bush Jr, and now Trump. And each time our debt skyrocketed. Don’t believe me look up the numbers yourself. Obama also caused the debt to skyrocket but he did something liberals don’t usually do. He increased spending but didn’t raise taxes.
I’ve said this before and I’ll keep saying it. I don’t like raise taxes and spend liberals, but I really hate cut taxes and spend conservatives.
