Setting aside the hypocrisy over claims of fiscal conservatism & the threat to national security, as future debt service payments will make it very hard to cover debt, pay for national defense, & meet services obligations like providing Social Security and Medicaid, this is a billionaire’s budget.

On CNN Edwards claims a newborn American starts life with $106k debt, claiming the need for austerity instead of taxing rich folks.

New Cato study, using 30 years of federal, state, and local budget data, finds immigrants have reduced U.S. deficits by $14.5 trillion since 1994. It directly contradicts years of claims by nativists in Congress and the administration that immigrants are “behind the growth in debt.”
