I see no problem with that proposal, considering how much graft the taxpayers actually pay for. In fact, getting something tangible out of our tax dollars is a rarity. Maybe we could go into the bloated military budget or export-import bank as well. There should be no sacred cows. I'd be just as vigilant going after the pigmen's perks as I would for the dependents.

On CNN’s “New Day,” King was asked if he was comfortable with $1.6 billion of taxpayer money being allocated to fund the border wall, particularly in light of Trump’s signature campaign promise that Mexico would pay for 100 percent of it.
“I’d throw another $5 billion on the pile, and I would find a half of a billion dollars of that right out of Planned Parenthood’s budget, and the rest of it could come out of food stamps and the entitlements that are being spread out for people that haven’t worked in three generations,” he said.
“We built a program to solve the problem of malnutrition in America, and now we have a problem of obesity,” King said. “When you match up the EBT card with what the scales say on some of the folks, I think it’s worth looking at. Michelle Obama looked at it. Republicans should be able to look at it too.”
