#4 We spend billions, literally billions, on subsidizing illegals, known fraud in Social Security and Medicare, IRS tax credits, and force the US military to cut back capability in the first obligation of government, national defense. We are not far from insurrection I fear as government has become our Master, not our servant, and uses our money and credit to buy the loyalty of imported masses to overwhelm our actual citizens.

Don't laugh. A fairly common sight at Charleston AFB are the big Russian airlifters that we charter to carry outsized stuff to the Af or Iraq.

#10 Yeah - I'm sure that Valerie Jarrett will still get a full Air Force One type aircraft with escort fighters to take her and her Secret Service attachment to fund raising and political strategy sessions.
