They get a cost of living increase according to the rules we setup. No inflation, no increase. Big inflation, big increase. It has nothing to do with whether we have extra money or not.

My opinion is we don't take countless refugees. If we are going to spend welfare money we might as well help them in the countries they are living in not import them to the USA. I know there are groups who jobs depend on grants and refugee resettlement but those people can easily go find another line of business.

Yeah, I know that. I just like to stir the pot
