4 Billion, 6 Million, 800 Thousand per year to American taxpayers.

How much debt would that address? How much would that help Medicare and Medicaid? How many bridges could be repaired? How many children could attend early education programs? How many people could have their health care costs covered? How many disabled veterans could that money fund job programs for? How many displaced homeowners could get relief?

It's mind boggling that we pay this EVERY YEAR. Walmart = corporate welfare.
