Senate (GOP) rejects amendment to build border fence

[daveman]

Then we have to place guard turrets every 100 feet. That's another $50 billion.

Border Patrol Agents for the towers 24/7/365 would be 800,000 Agents at $70,000.00/yr would be another $56 billion per year, plus the current employee cost. So what, $100 billion per year total?

Reality sucks, doesn't it......

How would you know?

 

[daveman]

The concrete alone will cost $23 trillion dollars.

Do you have a link to back up this insane claim?

You have a cement wall 50 feet high, 5 feet wide with a 25x25 foot base at $100 per yard delivered. Do the math, no need for a link.

Of course we haven't even begun construction yet.

Of course a link is required. Where did you get the dimensions?

You need a link? Are you not capable of self-thinking?

Our prisons are very good at keeping people in, so why not duplicate prison walls to keep people out. Nothing else is working.

While it's amusing watching you stamp your feet and pout, it's a less-than-compelling argument.

Try again.

Look, Skippy, it's a pretty basic concept.

You make a claim, you back it up.

Let me guess: You think you're ENTITLED to me unquestioningly accepting everything you say.

Boy, are you going to go through life bitter and disappointed.

The typical ad hominem attack of panic when one realizes that the GOP is blowing hot air up your skirt.

Bottom line is...

We hear that Americans will not do the work the Mex does at the wage the Mex does. Ok- I buy that..

But lets say, we double the wage so Americans do the work? Gasp!

Nobody will want to pay $5 for a head of lettuce

Guess what? Time you pay for amnesty through welfare, WIC, etc, so the illegal criminal can work for less, it still winds up costing more than having Americans go the work.

The head of lettuce real-time cost is $15

Basic economics

Yeah. Meanwhile, I can't help but notice you haven't proven your claim. You ever going to get around to that, or do you have to pretend to be superior some more?

Raise the minimum wage to $23.50/hr.

Make healthcare mandatory for employers to pay.

Disallow all business dedications other than employee expenses.

Allow employers to deduct dollar-for-dollar against ANY taxes/fees owed which will offset the added expense and keep the employers bottom line equivalent to today.

Law change: A ten year prison sentence for any person that knowingly hires an undocumented person for employment.

 

[daveman]

Raise the minimum wage to $23.50/hr.

And then change the name of the country to "Greece"...because that's what the economy will look like.

I never pretend.

I've given you all the information to do your own math.

Remember, the thread title is; 'Senate (GOP) rejects amendment to build border fence'.

It's the cost stupid!

Well, since you're not superior, one of us is lying. Hint: It's you.

I can do math. I want to know where you got the dimensions. NOTE: This is YourAss Online is NOT an acceptable source.

Greece was highly leveraged in derivatives. Thank Phil "Grimm" (R) for the Greece demise.

OK, I'll play. Five feet wide, fifty feet tall, with a twenty five foot by twenty five foot base, times 1950 miles long. We'll call it 'The Great Wall of America'. It will become one of the three man made structures you can see from space.

Our Founding Fathers of the United States of America will be proud!

Great Gaea's Gargantuan Gazongas.

Just admit you made the numbers up. Because you've had many chances to post a link sourcing the dimensions, and have instead chosen to insist I take your word for it.

Meanwhile, just for giggles, we'll use your numbers. The dimensions you've given result in 328,533,333 cubic yards of concrete. Also using your ridiculously-inflated cost of $100 per cubic yard (because they'd use batch plants located near the site -- no way in hell they'd try to truck in that much concrete), the concrete cost is $32,253,333,300.

What was the number your "math" came up with?

The concrete alone will cost $23 trillion dollars.

Ummm...no. Insanely inaccurate.

You screwed up. By 700 times too high.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why progressives can't be trusted with money. They don't know how to do math.

You misspelled "Wow, Dave, I don't know how I could have made such a huge mistake. Probably because I'm not very interested in facts; I am a progressive, after all. Thanks for setting me straight!"

Don't forget their pensions.

Not really, although I expect you feel all bowed up right now.

I guess I hurt your widdle feewings with the correct statement of your views, huh?

Will the fence be armed?

It's funny, the way you think you have a point.

I have a clear point that you keep running away from.

You're quite a pussy.
