This is important--money is fungible--and it's why the Democrat and media lie that health care is not going to illegals is so preposterous. Consider, for instance, two state Medicaid programs--Ohio and New York. New York gives Medicaid to illegals and Ohio doesn't.
When the government gives billions of dollars to New York for Medicaid, that frees up state money in New York that can then be spent on illegals.
It's like if you give a mobster $100 but he PROMISES you he won't spend the money to buy a gun and commit a crime. Well, he takes the $100 you gave him and buys food, and then takes the money he would have spent on food and uses that money to buy the gun instead. This is what "money is fungible" means.
Additionally, because medical services are limited in supply, when an illegal accesses health. care, it drives up the cost for everyone. So New Yorkers are paying a higher price for medical services, and the federal government is subsidizing those higher prices.
So everyone in the media, from George Stephanopoulos to Jake Tapper, repeating these Democrat talking points, is engaged in the Democrat propaganda war.
Democrats shut down the government to give health care money to illegal aliens. It's really that simple.
We have confirmation that the shooter at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, MN was a 23 year-old man, claiming to be transgender.
This deranged monster targeted our most vulnerable: young children praying in their first morning Mass of the school year. This deeply sick murderer scrawled the words ‘For the Children’ and ‘Where is your God?’ and ‘Kill Donald Trump’ on a rifle magazine.
This level of violence is unthinkable. Our deepest prayers are with the children, parents, families, educators, and Christians everywhere. We mourn with them, we pray for healing, and we will never forget them.
You are correct. There’s no comparison. California is:

-gas prices (1 out of 50)
-illiteracy (1 out of 50)
-wage stagnation (1 out of 50)
-frivolous lawsuits (1 out of 50)
-unemployment (3 out of 50)
-housing costs (2 out of 50)
-water bills (2 out of 50)
-restrictions on workers (1 out of 50)
-Anti-business regulations (1 out of 50)
-energy/electricity costs (3 out of 50)
-inequality (3 out of 50)
-income tax (1 out of 50)
-gas tax (1 out of 50)
-budget deficit (1 out of 50)
-road disrepair (3 out of 50)
-educational inequity (2 out of 50)
-COVID school shutdowns (1 out out of 50)
-COVID business shutdowns (1 out of 50)
-COVID mandates (1 out of 50)
-illegal border crossings (1 out of 50)
-funding for illegal immigrants (1 out of 50)
-People leaving state (1 out of 50)
I could go on…
Love having Grok available in my Tesla!
@elonmusk when are you going to allow Grok to work in place of the Tesla assistant?!?
That would be really sweet !
@CoryBooker Well, if there’s anyone that knows about corruption, it would be you.
How much has your wealth increased since you’ve been in politics? Just round numbers would be fine.
