I am reading that the great border WALL will cost more than the government originally thought, but I have not gotten involved in the.....

...design or negotiations yet. When I do, just like with the F-35 FighterJet or the Air Force One Program, price will come WAY DOWN!

If Mexico was smart, they would be happy President Trump will be cutting the cost of the wall because they will be paying for it.

They should be grateful that he is negotiating on their behalf!

Let’s see. 10,000,000 illegals getting medical, educational and welfare benefits at say conservatively $25,000 per year, that would be about $275,000,000,000 per year. Math check?

I don’t care if it DOES cost more. Build it.

I remember a calculation that the federal government spends $4 billion a day. So five days spending would pay for the wall.

I just saw on Twitter someone bringing up the idea of a GoFundMe for The Wall. Think about it. You could say “And I helped build it”.

Even if it's $21 billion, it's cheap.

But the wall will save the jails, and other public social service agency even more billions

Your comment reminds me of something I saw on Fakebook a few weeks ago. A teen-aged extended family member was reposting someone else’s comment.

The comment, apparently from another drama queen teen, was bemoaning the fact that Trump has promised to defund NPR. She said that she did not want this to happen because it was important to keep music education in school and that sports instead of music should be cut.

Willing to bet that the original poster was fed this lie and mangled logic by a teacher.

These are estimates.....if they bid it out it should be cheaper...if it is cost plus it could be 42 billion....

Yep, in the savings alone of government freebies given to illegals.

Consider all cost estimates as “BT” (Before Trump) until you hear it from him.

Maybe something like

“This 10 Mile Investment in the Security and Future of the United States of America was a Gift to the American People by (Ford Motor Company)”

(Substitute the name of other corporate and individual donors in the blank)

Excellent.

I thought the recent “it is going to cost a lot more” story was fake news, but I, like many, don’t care if it does cost more. We want it built and we want it built yesterday!

Actually, I hope Trump brings it in under budget and tosses that in the leftist, anti-American media’s faces.

I am sure.
Someone should remind her that the Blues,Jazz,Rock n’ Roll...and any of a 1000 genres, not to mention sports, somehow survived long before PBS/NPR came into being.

Funny,,
I’m listening to NPR now.
Have been for two weeks.
I can’t take even conservative Radio
And TV was pulled years ago.
It really is an Alternative Universe.

FREEPERS are are the Shinning Vessel...

I agree, the cost of the wall will be easily pay for itself in welfare, education and cost of crime that illegals are costing us.

Trump makes the “New Normal”, on-time and under budget for government projects.

That estimate is from the Obama era.
