So that would be $13.9bn for 315 miles, or ~$44m/mil. The DHS memo a month ago implied ~$7m/mi and in another section $16m/mi. Obviously the cost per mile is going to very by area, but that's a heck of a range, and blows out of the water per/mile construction costs for things more technically complex. Given what ought to be extremely heightened concerns about corruption -- grifters love procurement -- you'd think maybe we'd get some coverage of this. Media can hardly bother to point out that $5.7bn isn't enough to build the whole thing. It's not going to get built, but IF it were to be built it would surely be some of the most wasteful spending in the history of the country.

Lucid.
I see an analogy to Edgar Allen Poe's Pit and the Pendulum, with the office of the Presidency strapped to the table.

at the most conservative estimates, illegals cost us 16 billion per year.

Looking to go outside of my box and try a wide array of Whiskey this year, any suggestions? what are some of your favorites?
picked up some Makers 46 yesterday, and it's pretty good. I like it better than regular Markers Mark

The GoFundMe account which raised $20 M to build The Wall is shutting down having fallen well short of its goal of $1 Billion. That means everyone gets refunds...except the account Founder is attempting to have folks redirect their refund towards the creation of a brand new "non-profit" called We Build the Wall, Inc.
