Trump’s $5B Border Wall Request Equals 0.11% of Federal Spending

Trump’s $5B Border Wall Request Equals 0.11% of Federal Spending:

To put the president’s border wall request in perspective, the federal government spent $5.587 billion in the month of October alone for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, AKA food stamps. Thus, funding food stamps for just the first month of fiscal 2019 cost more than Trump’s entire fiscal 2019 request for border wall funding.
