Mulvaney: There are several hundred millions of dollars in the budget, for up-building border wall
Live press briefing | 5/2/2017

Posted on 05/02/2017 11:24:48 AM PDT by cba123

Mick Mulvaney, the budget director, is currently having a press conference.

I was watching it, and learned for the first time, that there is several hundreds of millions of dollars in the budget, for ramping up fencing on the border (now) upgrading to a 20-foot structurally sound, actual border.

This is the first I had heard of that.

It seems the President is looking at playing much harder ball in September.

It seems the 2017 budget was closed, as of the budget agreement.

I am much, much happier than I was a couple of days ago.

Good discussion Mr. Mulvaney, and happy 19th anniversary to you.

To be honest, this is pretty much the model for what Trump is up to that we are shakey about.

When it’s explained by someone in the know, it’s great.

The media is putting out false or at least misleading information.

We have to back off a bit, and let Trump do what he wants to do. I think we’ll be happy.

You know, we’re a good example of people with too much time on our hands. We obsess over this stuff.

We need to chill out and expect Trump to follow through most of the time.

Me included...

This going wobbly every few minutes isn’t helping our team at all.

This is probably money that was included in the osama spending bill to get the votes of the Republicans, to be used for strengthening the wall, that the rats allowed secure in the confidence that it would never be spent. Then Came Trump.

Personally, I would be fine with what I saw as the final wall. It is fine, more cost efficient, and as discussed, you can see through it and is safer for enforcement officers. Put that up and let the other side claim victory because it isn’t a brick wall. Art of the deal.

What is easier than dividing “conservatives” from each other?

Exactly. I would like them to give the page of the bill that states the spin they are giving us. Both sides.

Good stuff as usual.

Obama may have had one budget. I do know that he stopped submitting them. One was rejected 99-1 by the SENATE. Can you imagine the Fake News Phonies going after any Republican after such a crushing defeat?

Utter crap but it is a perfect example of the uninformed critic who believes that we elected Mein Fuhrer last fall.

i like that idea, i’m wondering why we haven’t gone after the employees when it is partially their fault. excluding realistic fake ids.

Buy the material with these funds and have Army install for free. Can that make the funds go further?
