Trump initially said he could build a wall for $4 billion & Mexico would pay for it.. It will only take a $Billion worth of concrete. How is it now suddenly $18 Billion for a down payment? They say it will cost $70 Billion when done. That is a complete outrage!!! That would buy 5 aircraft carriers! Mexico's GDP is only $1 Trillion.
This is like Bush / Cheney saying the $5 Trillion War would only cost $40 billion!
The new Ford aircraft carrier was 13 billion dollars F.Y.I.
Edit my apologies misread your post ...yup it will cost 5 aircraft carriers , still cheaper then over 70 billion a year every year on illegals
That is a total LIE! Illegals don't get welfare! So we won't save a dime! Trump is throwing away $70 billion that we need to use to replace water & sewer lines.
We need to force Trump to stick to that $4 billion promise so we can cut down on the $2 Billion we spend on Border Patrol every year!
The reality is that the math says the wall will cost more to build and maintain than any perceived savings. What is worse, it's not going to stop people from crossing the border.
Trump is a businessman, so why would he get involved in a financial clusterphuck that only hurts the working class and middle class? Well, how come his tax breaks were permanent for big business, but temporary for the workers?
We are only seeing business react to the temporary stimulus that Trump was able to seem to create (but that is an illusion.) Everything is looking good for the moment, but it will come at a price one day and the rich are arranging it so that the working class will pay for it.
It's called physiology...making a statement just like our huge military complex is spend more money build huge aircraft carrier fleets ..
What did FDR once say? Talk softly and Carry a big stick..
Trump talks gibberish , builds the damn wall and future presidents can talk softly..
Do you get my logic?
