Donald Trump right now is sending $40 billion to Argentina, and I just want to go through the list again about what could we do with that $40 billion if we kept it right here in the United States. Forty billion dollars would stop health insurance premiums from doubling. Forty billion dollars would restore food assistance for families that will be hurt by Donald Trump's cuts. Forty billion dollars would cancel a chunk of student loan debt for nearly 4 million borrowers. Forty billion dollars would fund public media.
