but they'll do both. Plus a very expensive expulsion of immigrants, concentration camps, the works.

It will be more critical than ever that they cut "entitlements" to pay for the above.
And they'll still balloon the deficit.

That's what you get with a president who had never had to budget personally in his life. He thinks he is entitled to have everything he wants, and it doesn't include anything any of us actually need.
