…….because it isn’t. We spend upwards of $150 billion per year on illegal immigrants. If we save half of that going forward, by spending $25 billion on a wall, the payback is 4 months, and the savings over five years exceeds $350 billion. This is the easiest decision in congressional history, except when your personal hatred for Trump causes you to not fulfill your duty to The People.

Hey, they're your words.

The wall will SAVE taxpayer $$$$$$$$$$$$, to the tune of hundreds of billions over 5 years.

Get in the game.

You just explained, aptly I might add, why I would love to see Social Security go away and why government oversight of a massive wall-building project doesn't seem like a great idea.

Could not agree more on SS.

Federal government’s main purpose is national defense; build the wall.

When will the media ask AOC about this report from 1989?

May have involved felonies. Had it been Cruz, it would have been plastered everywhere. You seriously cannot be defending the media, right?

I would vote for Beto

Reuters under fire for sitting on damaging story about Beto in ’17 with the intent to not release it until after the election against Cruz. The scum in the media running non-stop interference for the left is literally sickening. Screw them and the phony libtard Beto.

If it ended it was because you can NEVER count on government to do anything right, or live up to their end of a deal. You wonder why bombs and guns and wrenches and widgets cost so much --- try being a vendor dealing with the whipsaw of government whim, budget disasters, and elections every two years. The idea that some ratio of private to public investment could occur was put out there; government fumbled the ball again and taxpayers will probably now get to foot the entire bill. Bravo.

Nonfarm job openings reached another new all-time high in January, with 7,581,000 postings for the month. In addition, there were more job openings in the U.S. economy than the number of people looking for work (6,535,000 in January and 6,235,000 in February) for the 12th straight month.

Lighthizer nearing trade deal --

I like this guy; he appears to be damn serious about getting a good agreement, something we haven’t had in decades in a trade negotiator.

Trump had plenty of good ideas involving a ton of private sector money to complement the taxpayer dollars for infrastructure. The resistors said No.

Fuck ‘em; start making cuts.
