Why only $8 billion?
Maybe he got a better deal.
he is having to take the money from areas like the military and drug interdiction programs. I am sure he would rather of used money that was funded by congress. I also am sure that the 8 billion was the limit because he could not take more with out impacting the agencies significantly that the money came from. theses programs all had wording with in the funding that can be interpreted as building a wall.....also I believe that the way the bill was written it is only that 1.3 billion that has the rules governing how it is spent.
I’m pretty sure that, that’s 8 Billion more than your other favorite politician got for the wall...
A judge is much more likely to throw a raised brow on 8 billion dollars rather than 4 or 5 billion. I’ll wager you that this “8 billion” number is being thrown out there by Mick Mulvaney. Trump would be wise to use lower amounts.
Instead of automatically asking why I can't have more frosting on the cake, I'm gonna be pleased the cake is bigger and has more frosting than what the Dems and RINOs tried to feed us.
