Man, you still don’t get it. Okay, so we bring, say 50000 forward stationed personnel home, where do they live? Ya think we have 50k empty barracks laying around? Where does the money come from? You don’t get it. Even if 20 billion was saved, that’s yesterday money. Appropriated for a purpose. The fed budget is not like your personal one, the laws that Congress passes that carry funding are specific to the task. For instance, the army can’t spend ops money on infrastructure, or maintenance money on pay. It’s the law. Your silly “just do it” mentality betrays your ignorance. I am sure you mean well but so what. If Trump tried what you want, he would be stopped by Congress and probably the courts and should be, as he would be violating the laws of the land. Too bad they gave Obama a pass. Do you get it yet?

it’s the only way it’s getting built. Most of the GOP is against it. They are never going to fund it.
