So many people told me “i don’t care” or “It just doesn’t affect my life” or “they’re all corrupt!”

So so important to know & remember. Foreign aid & immigration are not sinking us. We can’t get to solutions with scapegoats.
As we experience the fallout from Trump’s pause of federal loans and grants, let us not forget what really drives spending and deficits👇
