So, you wait until you're 70 to change things. You benefited from everything. I'm supposed to trust you. I have just as much faith in you then eating 🥒 @BernieSanders. Two fingers to you as well!

We terminate the food stamp program that costed $113 billion in 2021 but have all the money in the world to send to foreign countries for their defenses...
