“then how did the wwii memorial get built?”

Congress specifically authorized the use of donations for that purpose, as they did for the Washington Monument over a century ago.

It takes as many votes to authorize the use of donations for building the wall, as it does to just fund it directly. But Congress could likely provide a thousand times what donations could.

Non-appropriated funds are used for many purposes, like fees in National Parks, or commisary profits used for Military health and welfare programs. They require specific Congressional Authorization.

Yes, we conservatives must be polite, follow the rules and march quietly to the cattle cars. By all means no out of the box thinking. Right?
