Some of the most remote parts of the fence cost 41 million US dollars per mile.

I have to disagree. Once the Democrats are in charge there will be ABSOLUTELY NO CONCERN about spending money we don’t have to make Trump look bad. It will be one of their main goals. The few hundred million this will likely cost will be the happiest waste of money the Democrats will authorize ... for their base....


After the last four years of reckless GOP spending, the Dems are absolutely done pretending to care about deficits. About damn time.

Meanwhile in the white House, they discussed martial law and the insurrection act, because they don't like the outcome of the election but can't prove that anything was wrong with it.

If they do find the political will, one of the most important things they could do is repeal the 2006 law that exempts the Department of Homeland Security from the environmental restrictions that any other private or public project would have to abide by.
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

Common ground. Both sides agree on unrestrained spending.

I am all for unrestrained spending by both sides. I expect I will be dead before the major consequences.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner.

When I hear righties say they don’t care about climate change because they’ll be dead long before the consequences of it really get nasty, that’s EXACTLY how I feel about the debt/deficits. Those bills aren’t coming due in my lifetime.

Like most of Trump's developments it will probably be left to rot, abandoned, until it becomes unsafe and people start to get injured and neighboring properties complain nonstop and it gets forced to be demolished.... And, Trump will blame the state on the current owners and how they ruined his vision....
