$260M: Cancer, AIDS research --> border costs

This is heart-warming.  The Trump administration is shifting $260M from medical research, Head Start, Medicare/Medicaid, etc. to cover the costs of housing immigrant children.  "Business as usual", says the HHS spokesperson, apparently oblivious to the scale of the current problem.

Yay, children! Let's just put as many children in "camps" as possible

I wonder what the original budget number is, because that is adding over 20K per child, using 12,800. 

And this will be small potatoes compared to what they are planning next year, concerning cutting entitlements to make up for the deficit caused by the tax bill and tariff fuck ups.
