Congressman Greg Casar on Trump's "Small Price to Pay"

Published | Video Starts at 00:27

Remember the ACA tax credits that used to help 20 million Americans afford their health insurance? 200 billion could cover those again and again and again and again. Six times over. It could provide free lunch to every kid in America. With $170 billion left over, it could cover child care for 14 million American children. Donald Trump says 200 billion is a small price to pay for the war, but that's pretty easy for him to say because he never pays it. (00:27–00:33)
