You are aware that the ballroom was privately funded, right? Private funds means no taxpayer money. You cannot expect them to divert funds donated to the ballroom, and redistribute the money to random Americans.

Really? Who donated $500 million for a ballroom?

The list of donors to the new ballroom, provided by the White House, is below. It’s not clear how much each corporation or individual contributed:

Altria Group

These companies and people are all either stupid or weak.

Stupid if they believe it’s a donation for a ballroom or weak if they were afraid of being extorted, harassed, or sued if they didn’t donate.

Because it sneaks up on you versus a conscious choice?

It's always amazing that so many Americans don't seem to know how things work or what they are called.

+1. When MAGA get welfare, they call it “a helping hand” or “God is providing”. I guess they’re going to learn that God’s human name is SNAP.

Welfare and snap are two completely different programs.

And welfare ended under Clinton. It is TANF now, which is not remotely close to the welfare program we had. It has work requirements and a 5 year limit on benefits.

Guys, "welfare" just means government subsidies for low-income people. The United States has six major welfare programs:

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
Medicaid
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs (SNAP aka food stamps)
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
Earned Income Tax Credit(EITC)
Housing assistance

How many of those donors will pay for November SNAP, do ya think?

Maybe we should all send them a note, asking for a like-for-like donation.

Seriously. They'll pay tribute to the emperor as a tip for their tax cuts, but they'll let citizens starve. It's like the Middle Ages.

Almost no details have been released about donations. The known amounts are far short of the $300 mn cost. Trump is saying he will “donate” the $230 million he is demanding from the DOJ.

Smh. Pledging their loyalty. His 1% Oligarchy friends are running the show anyway. He is just their marionette or play toy. They do not care if people starve or die. They never did and never will.

Maybe we should stop allowing tax deductions for mortgage interest and many “business” deductions.

And whatever donations are made to the ballroom are considered tax-deductible. So let's say one of these rich people donates $10 million. They're only truly contributing 6.3 million while the other 3.7 million is subsidized by taxpayers. But that's assuming these people even pay income tax in the first place, which they might not. Sigh.
