REPUBLICANS HAVE S200 MILLION FOR A BALLROOM, S1 BILLION FOR A NEW JET AND S72 MILLION FOR ENDLESS GOLF TRIPS. THEY HAVE MONEY TO GIVE ICE $50,000 BONUSES.
THEY HAVE S1 MILLION PER DAY TO OCCUPY AMERICAN CITIES. THEY HAVE S3.8 BILLION TO SEND ISRAEL WEAPONS AND $40 BILLION TO BAILOUT ARGENTINA.
BUT THERE'S NO MONEY FOR HEALTHCARE.
