The big question on MSNBC and CNN these days is how will America ever pay for the border wall that President Trump wants to build. The wall could cost as much as 15 to 20 billion dollars over the next decade.
Are they kidding? These same people never mention that Obamacare will add at least one and more likely two trillion dollars to the deficit over the same period. That's between 50 and 100 times more cost than the wall, but we hear nothing from these supposed "news" reporters about it. Nope, the big story is how will we afford 1.5 to 2 billion per year.
While Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, her department "lost" $6 billion. That's right, those people who Trump fired yesterday couldn't find six billion dollars over four years. No one mentions that, but that money for the wall brings on apoplexy.
We also just heard from the Department of Education that a program it ran since 2006 and for which it spent $8 billion dollars had no positive effect on the students and schools who took part. Add that bogus program to the lost State Department cash and we already just about paid for the wall.
Then there's some real beauties out there. Just the money left in accounts from the Obama stimulus of 2009 would pay for the wall. And what about the rest of the TARP money from the same era. There's billions there too.
The real truth is that Washington is awash in cash. Okay, maybe I should say Washington is floating on a sea of waste and corruption. There's more than enough money to pay for the wall. The only problem is that once the GOP tries to cut out this waste, the Democrats get upset and claim that it will harm a great many people. It's not true, but it is an endless story. Let's hope President Trump can finally push past the BS from the Dems designed to protect their allies who pull down most of this cash.
