    Re: “The Wall”

    So, has anyone else noted that the Administration’s figure for the border wall keeps growing by leaps and bounds? Well, first Mexico was going to pay for it. (Yeah, right!) It was then $3B... and $4B... and $5.7B and now $8B.

    First - Republicans as fiscal conservatives? Bull<sneeze!>.

    Second, who will be benefiting from the construction $$$? Like any good Mafia project there seem to be groups or individual who will disproportionately benefit from the taxpayer’s purse, while likely paying little to no taxes on the youuugely profitable boondoggle.

      From what I've heard, the Wall Trump really wants is at a minimum is 25-30 billion.

        A Federal Judge was just told that the $1,500,000,000 that trump was given for his wall have built just 1.7 miles of fencing. Bigly sad.

                      Winnebagos are ugly, of course, but that fashion critique is a little over the top.

                        This makes the $600 toilet seat look like small potatoes.
