the border wall, estimated to cost between $4.1 billion and $25 billion, was originally theorized to be paid for by mexico through tariffs and other trade-based means; however, due to mexican resistance to such an idea, the proposal has been somewhat discarded.

the Annoying Orange administration has begun cutting funding to several government agencies to make up for costs, but some $4.1 billion over the next year is anticipated to come from the US treasury and not mexico

"It's not Hillary" is the same as "I'm not willing to admit our president is doing stuffty things so I'll just talk about someone else who's stuffty instead"

Don't think of it as "taxpayer money", think of it as a "wall stimulus package".

Blockomaniac · March 16, 2017, 03:57:23 PM

the obvious workaround is for all taxpayers to move to mexico

that way mexico still pays for it
