This should be vetoed by the President! 1.2 trillion!? Really!? We don’t have this money! Get conservative and reign in the budget!!
Not trillion, billion.
At a twenty billion dollar cost, it would amount to approximately 0.0056% of one year’s federal fiscal budget.
I based that off a budget from 2016 that was $3.54 trillion dollars.
Savings from the wall being there, would work to pay for itself.
I also believe that as the wall starts being built in earnest, Trump will come up with a plan to get Mexico or people sending money to Mexico to pay for it.
Even a 5% fee on funds sent to Mexico would cover the cost of the wall over time.
As for $1.6 billion being approved, the wall won’t be built in one year. This amount is only the first installment.
Things will fully be revealed in time.
