Both.
Fire up the printing presses.

But the left had their sheeple convinced that spending $5 billion on a WALL to secure our border, was too much.

Banking sector.

IIRC, the Treasury made a profit on TARP.

Not giving these rich arse banks a dime. They should have regulated themselves.

Oh...

You do know that the "government" is taxpayers, right? Sadly, I don't think you know this very basic point.

Is this $120 Billion being added on to the $150 BILLION that we spend on Illegal Aliens per year ?

What a way to run a business. This is no way to run a country.

Not giving Ukraine a dime. They should have armed themselves.

I'd rather spend $100B to shore up the SS trust fund.
