It should be noted but rarely is, that the president proposed to expand the program to cover an additional 3 MILLION children, dems wanted to double to 18 million. It should also be noted that under the Presidents proposal the Frost family would STILL be covered.

I should think that the best thing that could possibly be done, "for the children", is to hand down to them a constitutional republic with a sound dollar. That's not what they're in line to get at the moment. Mike, you stole my thunder.

Lex previously mentioned "Defenders & Builders" - it appears that these "builders" see existing "gates" as obstacles to be destroyed before new (re)construction and never consider why gates were considered prudent to erect in the first place.

According to how its set up, as long as you are capable of doing something for the militia, then sure. JTG: Wasn’t trying to make a reference to that, guess it just seeped in.
