  Funny how republicans love taxes all of a sudden. Of course, a fair number of them are actually stupid though to believe that foreign governments are paying them.

  Also, $16b is pretty much jack shit. Good job Big Strong Trumpy

  I think the news here is that the money actually went towards reducing the deficit rather than being spent on something else.

    I don’t know why youd think that when they have plans for the money and it sure as hell won’t be to reduce the deficit.

      It's because they don't have plans for the money and it was used to reduce the deficit

        Might want to reread that article because it’s not reducing anything, they are spending more money not less.
