Why don’t these maggots at the GAO issue a “warning” about how much more welfare and healthcare is costing the taxpayers each year because we HAVEN’T built a wall. Morons.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Not building the wall is like not putting on a condom. Maybe the lib’s can understand that deportation has similarities to abortion! Prevent, don’t kill.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
It’s cute the author thinks the GAO is non-partisan. Pathetic, but cute.

Where was this “watchdog” when Hussein Obama delivered $150 billion in cash and gold to Iran on the sly? The wall would cost a fraction of that.
To: All
Open borders cost a lot more.

President Donald Trump’s long-promised border wall between the US and Mexico could costs billions of dollars more than estimated, a new report from a government watchdog agency said on Monday.
And what is the cost to our nation if we do not get control over our borders?
Our very national existence is at stake.

And unlike a bullet train to nowhere the wall has national security benefits. Build the damn wall...

It building it will cost many times more. I notice they did not mention that. Face it, if you are evil, you lie and deceive. It’s what you do.

Not if it’s a single payer health care system costing trillions.

"A US government watchdog is warning that Trump's border wall could cost billions more than he claims..." And yet we would still come out way ahead with what we would save by not having to take care of a bunch of third world parasites forever and ever. Hmmm... So what's your point?

They’re trying to scare the low information voters. It’s what they do.

Uh huh. 500 billion for TARP. Congress had no problem funding that small expense.

Something absolutely insane I am sure.
To: Sam Gamgee
Around $12 billion dollars. That would build a hell of a lot of barriers on the Southern border. One year’s worth of food stamps would build a fancy wall with money left over for staffing.
