The devil made them do it. Literally.
First, these are not the Democrats personal dollars. These are tax dollars so the Democrats don’t mind “wasting” them as most of them end up in the pockets [bank Accounts]of the Democrats. Same with the “freebies” to the illegals. The illegals in turn vote for the Democrats to keep them in office to take care of them and insure the flow of “freebies” continues unhindered. Dat is how the Democrats operate.
